Wilmington (19810) – Delaware State Police are currently investigating the robbery of a Walgreens pharmacy, that occurred over the weekend.

The incident occurred at approximately 6:06 p.m., Sunday, December 10, 2017, at the Walgreens pharmacy, located at 1601 Naamans Road, Wilmington, as two employees who had just closed the business, were preparing to leave for the night. As one of the employees, a 27 year old Wilmington woman, was exiting through the main entrance doors, she was forced back inside the business and knocked to the ground by a male suspect, who then ordered her to give him an undisclosed prescription drug.
