Wilmington (19810)- The Delaware State Police are investigating a robbery which began as a shoplifting that took place at a Wilmington pharmacy. Troopers are seeking the public’s assistance in identifying the pictured suspects.

The incident occurred on Thursday, August 23, 2018 at approximately 9:52 p.m., when three subjects entered the Walgreens pharmacy located at 1601 Naamans Road, just prior to the business closing.  The suspects placed several items of merchandise into shopping baskets and proceeded to exit the store without rendering payment.  The sales associate attempted to grab the shopping basket to retrieve the merchandise.  As the sales associate grabbed the basket, one of the suspects aggressively pulled back, causing the sales associate to sustain a cut to his hand.  Two of the suspects fled the business with shopping baskets of merchandise, while the third suspect appeared to act as a “look-out”, waiting for the other two suspects to exit the store.  All three suspects were seen leaving the business in a 2005, silver BMW 320i, with DE registration 323071.

The sales associate was transported to a local area hospital where he was treated and released for his injuries.

The suspects were described as the following:

• Suspect 1: Black male, approximately 6′ 00″ tall, 230 – 250 lbs., short gray hair, 50 to 59 years of age, wearing a light colored t-shirt and dark colored shorts.
