Details: Law enforcement officials in Dover are working to solve an armed robbery case from the early hours of Sunday morning. Authorities first made contact with the victim at the Wawa store located at 2800 North DuPont Highway in Dover. Through their inquiry, officers learned that the victim had been at a home on Ironwood Court when four armed Black men confronted him with firearms. The perpetrators ordered the victim to hand over his belongings, which he did under duress. After taking his possessions, the group escaped and also took the victim’s car. Police have since located and recovered the stolen vehicle, but currently have no suspect information to share publicly.
Detectives continue working the case and are seeking public assistance with information. Anyone who may have details about this incident can reach the Dover Police Department by calling (302) 736-7130, with the option to remain unnamed.
