Resume: At approximately 1:51 a.m. this morning, RECOM, the State Police Dispatch Center in New Castle County, initiated a broadcast advising all patrol units to be on the look out for a gray Dodge Neon which was involved in a robbery in Upper Chichester, Pennsylvania. 

 

About two minutes later, RECOM initiated another broadcast advising this same suspect vehicle was involved in an armed robbery along the 700 block of Montclair Drive in the Naamans Apartment Complex.  In this incident, the victim was robbed of his wallet at gunpoint.  He was also assaulted in the robbery and required medical attention to stitch his wounds.

 

At about 2:00 a.m., a Troop 1 patrol officer observed a vehicle matching the aforementioned description in the parking lot of the Wawa located at 301 Naamans Road in Wilmington.  This vehicle was occupied by five subjects and backup was summonsed.  Eventually, all of the subjects were taken into custody without incident. A replica handgun and a stolen wallet were located in the vehicle.  

 

As this investigation unfolded, it was determined that these same subjects were responsible for another robbery in the Shell Service Station on Marsh Road which occurred at 12:45 a.m.  In this case, the victim just finished fueling his car when he was approached and assaulted by two male suspects.  The bandits punched and kicked the victim after forcing him to the ground. He was then robbed of his wallet and cell phone.  

 

The five suspects were transported back to the New Castle County Police Headquarters and then to DSP Troop 2 for processing.  It should be noted that Jamier Davis was only implicated in the robbery at the Shell Service Station.  The charges are as follows:
