Date Posted: Sunday, October 16th, 2022

Delaware State Police have arrested Francisco Martinez, 19 of Millsboro, DE, and Kyle Kilgo, 19, of Rehoboth Beach, DE, for robbery and related charges following an incident that occurred last night.

On October 15, 2022, at approximately 10:34 p.m., troopers responded to Wawa, located at 31055 Veterans Way, Rehoboth Beach for a report of a robbery. Investigation determined a 39-year-old male victim was exiting the Wawa parking lot on his scooter when he was stopped by two subjects. One of the two suspects grabbed the victim by his jacket and threatened to kill him if he did not give him his wallet, scooter, and other personal belongings. The same suspect began to physically assault the victim and displayed a knife towards him. At the time, the second suspect displayed a handgun towards the victim. The victim complied and gave up his personal belongings and sat on the ground as instructed. The first suspect attempted to flee the scene on the stolen scooter but was unable to operate it. Both suspects then fled the scene on foot.
