New Castle 7-Eleven Store Robbed At Gun Point

Location: 7-Eleven, 284 Christiana Road, New Castle, Delaware, New Castle County

Date of Occurrence: Saturday, October 17th, 2009, at 4:37 a.m.

Suspect(s): Black male, wearing a black hooded sweatshirt, black sweatpants, and white sneakers, face covered, armed with a black handgun

Resume: In the wee morning hours of Saturday, October 17th, Troopers were called to the 7-Eleven, located on Route 273 at Airport Road, for a robber report.

Officers arrived on the scene and contacted the clerk who advised that at approximately 4:37 a.m., a male suspect (described above) entered the store and approached the service counter.

This subject, who had his face concealed, was armed with a black handgun and demanded cash. The clerk complied and the suspect fled the store on foot in an easterly direction.

There is no surveillance video available. Also, there is no evidence to suggest that this subject is the same who committed the ATM robbery this past Friday in Bear (released earlier today by DSP PIO Office).

Anyone with information pertaining to this case is asked to call investigators at 302-834-2630 ext 6 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-TIP-3333.
