The Delaware State Police have arrested 32-year-old Leonard Cullum of Newark, Delaware for the robbery of a 7-Eleven that occurred several weeks ago. The second suspect remains at-large.

On February 26, 2023, at approximately 10:29 p.m., the Delaware State Police responded to a gunpoint robbery of the 7-Eleven located at 4865 Governor Printz Boulevard in Wilmington.
