Axe Wielding Bandit Robs Shore Stop

Released - Thursday, July 17, 2008

Milford - Delaware State Police Detectives are currently investigating a robbery that occurred at a local Shore Stop.  On Wednesday, June 25th, at approximately 9:39 p.m. State Troopers were dispatched to the store located at 1885 Bay Road, Milford to investigate the incident.

Upon arrival, investigators learned the suspect entered the gas station at 9:30 p.m. armed with an axe demanding the 19 year old female clerk hand over all the money. She complied and handed over an undisclosed amount of cash to the suspect. The suspect fled the store in a southerly direction.
