State Police Investigate Parking Lot Robbery at Delaware Park
Released Saturday, September 06, 2008
Stanton – The Delaware State Police are investigating an
armed robbery that occurred last evening at approximately 10:10 pm
in the parking lot of Delaware Park.
Investigators learned a 51 year old female from Lititz, PA was
robbed while getting into her vehicle in the Kirkwood Parking Lot.
The victim walked from the casino, through the tunnel and into the
Kirkwood Parking Lot at Delaware Park. She entered her vehicle when
a white male wearing a long sleeve flannel shirt, thin build,
goatee, sideburns - possibly in his twenties - came up behind her
vehicle on the drivers side.
The suspect was armed with a knife and put the knife near the
victim's face while the drivers side door was still open. He yelled
several times " you don't want to die give me your money." The
victim handed him her purse containing over a large sum of cash and
credit cards. The suspect then fled on foot in the same direction
that he arrived running away from the casino. The victim was not
injured.
Video surveillance is not available. Anyone with information on
this crime is urged to call investigators at Troop #2 at 834.2620
ext 4. Tips may also be forwarded to law enforcement through tip
lines maintained by Delaware Crime Stoppers at 1-800-TIP-333 3 or on
