UPDATE:
According to multiple sources, the two female victims of this robbery are not UCF students. They attend Valencia Community College.
KnightNews.com reached one of the Valencia students living at the home by phone yesterday. In that interview, she said she was packing up to move out.
She also said she didn’t know why deputies initially told news agencies they were UCF students, because everyone who lived there goes to Valencia. UCF also confirmed the victims are not UCF students.

Two female UCF students were reportedly violently robbed at gunpoint and bound with duct tape during a terrifying home invasion overnight.
According to reports, Orange County sheriff’s deputies said one robber tricked the women into opening their door, after knocking on it and claiming he hit one of their cars. Then, that man and three others — armed with guns — rushed in the apartment, forced the women to the floor, and tied them up with tape while robbing them.
The robbery happened before midnight at the Sun Key apartments, located near Goldenrod Road and University Blvd.The robbers got away with a flat screen TV, cell phones and money.
The two UCF students were apparently randomly targeted by the robbers, deputies said.
Despite deputies bringing out dogs to hunt down the suspects, they somehow got away and are still on the loose right now.
Both women were not injured, but of course were shaken up.
One of the suspects is described as a 6 foot tall white male, wearing a black and white striped jacket. Another was reportedly a 5 foot 9 black male with a goatee, two silver chains, one with a cross and skull.
