Two Sought After Residential Robbery

Released Tuesday, September 30, 2008

Dover – The Delaware State Police are investigating a residential robbery that occurred Saturday, September 27, 2008 at 8:00 pm at a residence on Kenny Court, in the development of Generals Green, Dover.

The investigation revealed two victims, a 21 year old female - who resided at the home and an 18 year old Magnolia woman - who was visiting, were inside when two unknown black males knocked on door. The homeowner asked who it was at door, when one of the suspects said "Mike".

The victim who resided at the home was waiting for her brother Mike to visit from Wilmington the day before, but didn't open door right away, since she wasn't sure who it was.  Finally, the victim did open the door and she observed the two unknown suspects walking away, when she asked them who you are looking for.

The homeowner stated the suspects walked quickly back to her, when one of them (light skinned black male in his twenties, low cropped hair, unshaven, 6'00", thin build, white t-shirt, baggy jeans) pulled out a black handgun and pushed her back inside residence. The second suspect, (dark skinned black male in his twenties, clean shaven, 5’11” to 6'00", chunky build, white t-shirt, baggy jeans and red ball cap) also entered with a silver colored handgun. 

The victims informed investigators one suspect started searching the first floor and basement of residence for money, not finding any, while the other suspect held a gun on the victims.

After getting no money, the suspects removed the victims cell phones valued at $100.00. The suspects then fled the home on foot in an unknown direction. Anyone with information on this crime is asked to contact Major Crime’s investigators at Troop 3 at 697.2104. Tips may also be forwarded to law enforcement through tip lines maintained by Delaware Crime Stoppers at 1-800-TIP-3333 or on line at www.tipsubmit.com.
