New Castle County – A joint investigation between the Delaware State Police, New Castle County Police and City of Newport Police has resulted in the arrest of three men responsible for a string of armed robberies that took place during the first two weeks in August.

Between Thursday, August 2 and Thursday, August 16, 2018, the three agencies independently investigated a total of nine robberies, seven of which occurred at convenience stores located throughout New Castle County to include Wilmington, Newark, New Castle, Newport and Hockessin. In addition to the convenience stores the Delaware State Police also investigated robberies at a Prices Corner area bank and liquor store.

Due to the prompt sharing of intelligence information between the three agencies, investigators were able to determine that the same group of three subjects were involved in the robberies. Further investigative measures led to the positive identification of 19 year old Tyree Miller, 21 year old D’Andre Whittle and 26 year old Fabian Evans, all of Wilmington, as the subjects responsible for committing the robberies. All three subjects were able to be linked to all nine robberies except for the liquor store incident in which Evans was not involved.

Below are the dates and locations of the incidents:

• August 2: 7-Eleven, 1901 Centerville Rd., Wilmington (NCCPD)
