Harrington- The Delaware State Police are investigating an attempted robbery of a Valero Shore Stop and are seeking the public’s assistance in identifying the pictured suspect.

The incident occurred on November 12, 2019 at approximately 5:19 a.m., when Troopers were dispatched to the Valero Shore Stop located at 16381 S. DuPont Highway, Harrington for a report of a robbery.  Upon arrival, Troopers met with a store manager who advised that a subject had entered the store, walked up to the register and demanded money.  The manager advised the suspect that there was no money in the register at this time.  The suspect never displayed a weapon and proceeded to walk out of the store without obtaining merchandise or cash.  The manager was not injured as a result of this incident.
