DSP News Release: Monday, June 29, 2009- A Quick Police Response and a Keen Nose on a K-9 Helped in Robbery Apprehension

 

Location of Incident: Little Caesars Pizza, 1013 Governors Place, Bear, Delaware, New Castle County

 

Date and Time of Occurrence: June 28th, 2009, 11:44 a.m.

 

Suspect(s):

  • Devin Parker, 18, of South Shields Street in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
  • Wyatt Davis BMN, 19, of Daniels Court in Bear, Delaware

 

Resume: On Sunday the 28th, a robbery occurred at the Little Caesars Pizza involving the two suspects listed above.  In this case, the suspects, who concealed their faces, entered the store.  The first suspect- Devin Parker- jumped the counter and implied that he had a handgun.  The store employees were then ordered into a bathroom while the second suspect- Wyatt Davis- obtained an undisclosed amount of cash. The two bandits then fled the location via the back door.           

 

Troop 2 patrol units responded swiftly to the scene and canvassed the area. One Trooper located Parker and Davis on Boggs Street, sweating and out of breath.  The subjects were detained while a Troop 6 patrol officer, and his trusty K9, performed a track which began at the rear door of Little Caesars Pizza.  The track led to a pile of discarded clothes which the suspects wore during the robbery.  In the clothes, Troopers found Mr. Parker’s driver’s license.  The K9’s track then continued and ended at the very location where Parker and Davis were stopped by the initial Trooper on Boggs Street. 

 

Arrest warrants were completed or both Parker and Davis charging them with 3 counts Robbery 1st, 3 Counts Unlawful Imprisonment, Wearing a Disguise during the Commission of a Felony, and Conspiracy 2nd. Both subjects were committed to Howard Young Correctional Institute on $ 60,000.00 bail.

 

There is no surveillance video or mug shots available.
