Dover– The Delaware State Police are investigating a robbery and are seeking the public’s assistance in identifying the suspect.

On May 4, 2020 at approximately 4:48 p.m., Troopers were dispatched to the Mifflin Meadows Apartments, Dover, in reference to a robbery complaint.  Upon arrival, Troopers met with a 38-year-old female who advised that she made arrangements with an unknown subject to purchase a game system console.  When attempting to make the transaction, the subject proceeded to block her path of travel, while making threatening movements to his waistband as if he was in possession of a firearm.  The victim turned over an undisclosed amount of cash and the suspect proceeded to take off on foot.  No weapon was displayed and the victim did not sustain injury.
