State Police Investigating Two Robberies at Wilmington Casino

The Delaware State Police is investigating two robberies that occurred Sunday night at a Wilmington Casino.

On March 8, 2026, at approximately 10:30 p.m., troopers responded to the Delaware Park Casino, located at 777 Delaware Park Boulevard in Wilmington, for two reported robberies. The preliminary investigation revealed two victims were walking through the parking lot when two unknown suspects exited a dark-colored Nissan sedan while armed with handguns. The suspects demanded the victims’ property, and the victims complied. The suspects then fled the area in the Nissan with an undisclosed amount of money and the victims’ personal property.

Investigators learned the suspects returned to the parking lot a short time later and approached another person walking through the lot. The suspects again displayed handguns and demanded the victim’s property. During the robbery, one of the suspects struck the victim in the head with a handgun before stealing the victim’s car keys. The suspects then fled the area in both the Nissan and the victim’s vehicle. The victim who was struck with the handgun, a 24-year-old man from Avondale, Pennsylvania, was taken to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

Troopers and Officers from the New Castle County Police Department later located the victim’s vehicle in the city limits of Wilmington. After a brief vehicle pursuit, the driver abandoned the vehicle and ran away in the area of Bradford Street and B Street, and was not apprehended.

State Police Arrest Four Men for Burglary Spree in New Castle County

The Delaware State Police have made four arrests connected to a string of crimes in New Castle County in January.  The suspects are 24-year-old Damon Hancock of Wilmington; 46-year-old Elwood Hunter of Smyrna; 34-year-old Jerree Richardson of Middletown; and 25-year-old Malik Winters of Claymont.

On January 7, 2026, troopers responded to the Four Points by Sheraton at 56 South Old Baltimore Pike in Newark for a report of a stolen vehicle.  Troopers learned that at approximately 1:00 a.m., a Ford Transit van belonging to the hotel was stolen from the parking lot.  During the following week, the four men used the stolen vehicle to commit two burglaries at reshipping companies on Quigley Boulevard and Bellcor Drive in New Castle.  In both cases, the Ford Transit was driven through the garage doors into the businesses, where the four suspects then stole, in total, approximately $169,000 in goods and caused approximately $14,000 in damages. Detectives learned that the Newport Police Department was investigating a similar incident that occurred on January 9, 2026, within its town limits.

The Troop 2 Criminal Investigations Unit assumed the case and learned that a Honda sedan with Pennsylvania registration and a Chrysler minivan with Kentucky registration were also connected to the burglaries.  A computer inquiry showed that the Chrysler was a rental and that it had been rented by Hunter.  Additionally, on January 14, 2026, the stolen Ford Transit van was located in Chester, Pennsylvania, by the Delaware County Criminal Investigation Division (PA).

While detectives continued to investigate, on January 18, 2026, at approximately 12:40 a.m., troopers were dispatched to Caroll Drive in New Castle for a report of a burglary at another reshipping company.  The owner reported that four suspects, using a white van, drove through the door, stole approximately $1,000 in goods, and caused approximately $5,000 in damages.

The suspects left the scene before troopers could arrive, but shortly thereafter, an officer from Newport Police Department spotted the involved Ford Econoline van, which had been reported stolen from Pennsylvania, in their jurisdiction and attempted to conduct a traffic stop.  The van failed to stop, and a pursuit ensued, ending in the City of Wilmington where all four suspects ran from the vehicle.  There, with the assistance of Newport and Wilmington Police Departments, Hancock and Richardson were taken into custody without incident.

Hancock was taken to Troop 2, where he was charged with the following offenses, arraigned by the Justice of the Peace Court 11, and committed to the Howard R. Young Correctional Institution on a $67,000 cash bond.
