DSP News Release: Tuesday, June 09, 2009- Three Students Commit Robbery during School Field Trip

 

Location of Incident: Prices Bowling Lanes, 3215 Kirkwood Highway, Wilmington, Delaware, New Castle County

 

Date and Time of Occurrence: June 9, 2009, at approximately 12:45 p.m.

 

Suspect(s):

  • Damiere Harris, 16, of Wilmington
  • Isaac Lecompte, 16, of Wilmington
  • Abel Flores, 17, of Wilmington       

 

Resume: Earlier today, Troopers were called to Crossroads of Delaware, on Lancaster Avenue, for a reported robbery that occurred during a school field trip. 

 

In this case, a 17-year-old student was with his class on a field trip to the Prices Bowling Lanes.  This victim went into the bathroom at which time a subject, later identified as Damiere Harris, came up from behind him, grabbed his arms, and held them behind his back.  Harris’ co-conspirators, Isaac LeCompte and Abel Flores, then reached into the victim’s pockets and removed $135.00. 

 

The victim was released and the suspects divided the money up amongst themselves.  The victim told a school administrator who acted swiftly and appropriately.  He recovered the stolen proceeds from the suspects and detained them at the school until Troopers arrived. 

 

The three suspects were transported back to Troop 6 where they were formally charged with felony level Robbery and Conspiracy.  All three suspects were released on $750.00 bail and their court dates are pending.
