Troopers Probe Residential Robbery near Milton
Released Wednesday, May 13, 2009
Milton The Delaware State Police are investigating a strong-armed robbery of an 88-year-old woman that occurred at her home on Cool Spring Road yesterday morning at approximately 9:20 am. Troopers were called after it was reported a black female, 506 508, 120 130 lbs, thin build and black short hair robbed the woman of money after she answered a knock at her door.
Investigators determined the suspect knocked on the front door of the womans home and when she answered, the female suspect forcefully pushed her way into the home and demanded money from the victim (who was home alone). The suspect retrieved an undisclosed amount of money from within the home, and in the course of doing so, threw the woman to the ground.
The suspect fled the home and was observed fleeing in an older model, dark gray or green with faded paint, boxy type sedan. The victim was not injured.
Anyone with information on this crime is urged to call detectives at Troop 4 at 302.856.5850 ext 206 or Crime Stoppers at 1.800.TIP.3333. Tips may also be forwarded to law enforcement through tip lines maintained by Delaware Crime Stoppers at 1-800-TIP-333 3 or on line at www.tipsubmit.com.
