Bear – The Delaware State Police are currently investigating a carjacking that took place in the parking lot of a Bear area shopping center Saturday night.

The incident occurred at approximately 9:00 pm., Saturday, August 4, 2018 in the parking lot of the Food Lion, located at 1607 Pulaski Highway, Bear. A 24 year old Wilmington man had just left an event at the Greater Newark Boys & Girls Club and returned to his maroon, 2010 Nissan Maxima, which was parked in the Food Lion lot.
