Update Milton Robbery– Suspect Identified, Arrest Warrants on File
Released Saturday, May 16, 2009
Milton – The Delaware State Police have obtained arrest warrants for Chevelle D. Morris, 45 of Millsboro for Robbery 1st degree and Burglary 2nd degree stemming from a robbery that occurred on May 12.
Detectives were contacted and advised of a suspicious person complaint on May 14 that involved a home owner on Hurdle Ditch Road (which is approximately 3 miles from where the robbery occurred) reporting a suspicious black female panhandling for money. They learned that the woman approached the homeowner and asked for money when he refused. The homeowner noted she was operating an older boxy type vehicle and before she left was able to secure a registration number and give it to police.
Police confirmed the vehicle (a 1992 Dodge Spirit) belonged to Ms. Morris and that the description of the car matched that of the one observed fleeing the robbery on Cool Springs Road. Additionally, a photograph was obtained of Ms. Morris and her physical characteristics and appearance match that provided by the victim.
Detectives have secured arrest warrants for Ms. Morris for Robbery 1st degree and Burglary 2nd degree and are seeking her whereabouts. Anyone with information on her location 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.

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, 5’06” – 5’08”, 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 woman’s 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.
