HyunJin Kim Update: State Police Arrest Trooper for Involvement in Robbery Released Tuesday, March 4, 2008 Dover – The Delaware State Police (DSP), in conjunction with the Delaware Attorney Generals Office, are announcing the arrest of a HyunJin Kim, 27 of Dover for his involvement in a Robbery that occurred last month at the Wild Quail Golf and Country Club. Mr. Kim has been employed as a Delaware State Trooper for 2 ½ years and is assigned to the patrol division at Troop #3 in Woodside. His arrest stems from the investigative efforts of Major Crime’s detectives who have been aggressively pursuing this case since it occurred. During the investigation, Troopers learned that Mr. Kim was an alleged victim in the Robbery; however, he left the crime scene before police arrived. As evidence technicians examined the crime scene, Troopers were able to recover evidence. A careful examination of the evidence led investigators to believe it was recently purchased prompting police to check area businesses in an effort to locate stores that may have sold the recovered items. Through their investigation, Troopers successfully discovered the items were purchased from the Camden Wal-Mart. With the assistance of Wal-Mart security personnel, troopers were able to locate photographs of subjects purchasing similar items matching those found at the crime scene. After reviewing these photographs, troopers were able to identify Mr. Kim as a suspect. Yesterday, detectives obtained search warrants for Mr. Kim’s residence and vehicle of which they successfully located evidence indicating his involvement to the crime. As a result of these findings Mr. Kim was charged with the following crimes: 11 counts of Robbery First Degree (F), Wearing a disguise in the commission of a felony (F), Possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony (F), Conspiracy Second Degree (F) and Offensive touching (M). He has been committed to a correctional center in Delaware in lieu of a $240,000 cash only bond. Because of his arrest, Mr. Kim has been suspended from the Delaware State Police. This investigation is ongoing and when additional information regarding the other suspects becomes available, it will be released to the media.
