Suspect(s): Black female, 25 – 35 years old, 180 – 190 pounds, large build, wearing a dark colored coat, jeans and a bandanna covering her hair. This subject was last seen fleeing the scene in a gray colored SUV.

Resume: Early this morning, Troopers responded to the Glendale Plaza Happy Harrys in reference to a robbery investigation.

Officers learned that at about 5:00 a.m. this morning, a black female entered the store, responded to the check out counter and asked to buy a pack of cigarettes. The clerk advised that after removing the pack of cigarettes from under the counter he started to ring up the sale. He said the suspect stated in a low voice, "This is a stick up and I have a gun in my pocket.”

The suspect then demanded cash and the clerk complied. The bandit took the loot and placed the money in her pocket. She then, very calmly, walked out of the store and got into a gray in color SUV. The SUV headed to eastbound Route 40 and a performed left turn to northbound Route 7.

There is no surveillance video in this case to disseminate as of yet. Anyone who may have information pertaining to this robbery is asked to call Troop 2 at 302-834-2630 ext. 6 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-Tip-3333.
