Delaware State Police are working to identify two armed suspects who carried out a pair of robberies targeting visitors at Delaware Park Casino on Sunday evening.
The incidents unfolded around 10:30 p.m. on March 8, 2026, in the parking area of the gaming facility on Delaware Park Boulevard in Wilmington. According to investigators, two individuals armed with firearms emerged from a dark Nissan sedan and confronted two people making their way through the parking lot. The gunmen ordered the victims to hand over their belongings, which they did before the criminals escaped in their vehicle with cash and personal items.
Police say the same perpetrators returned to the casino parking lot shortly afterward and targeted a third victim who was also walking through the area. The armed suspects again brandished their weapons and demanded the person’s possessions. During this second robbery, one of the criminals used his firearm to strike the victim in the head before taking the person’s car keys. The suspects then left the scene driving both the stolen Nissan and the victim’s automobile. The assault victim, identified as a 24-year-old Avondale, Pennsylvania resident, received treatment at a nearby medical facility for injuries that were not considered life-threatening.
Law enforcement officers from Delaware State Police and New Castle County Police Department subsequently found the stolen vehicle within Wilmington city boundaries. When authorities attempted to stop the car, a short chase ensued before the driver abandoned the automobile and escaped on foot near the intersection of Bradford Street and B Street. The suspect remains at large.
The case has been assigned to the Delaware State Police Criminal Investigations Unit for further review. Detective B. Timmons is asking anyone who saw the incidents or has relevant details to call (302) 365-8434.
