Two Temple students are under arrest in connection with yesterday’s marijuana bust on the 2200 block of Camac Street near Susquehanna Avenue.

Police found 16 pounds of pot with an estimated street value of more than $145,000, more than $12,000 in cash and numerous marijuana plants in the house.

The four are charged with possession with intent to distribute.

Campus Safety Services Executive Director Carl Bittenbender said Campus Police assisted in the bust.

Recently, a string of gunpoint holdup home invasions occurred blocks west of Main Campus, but Bittenbender said that police have found no correlation between the invasions and the bust.
