UPDATE: Surveillance photos released for Shore Stop robbery

The Delaware State Police have released surveillance photos of a robbery that happened at a North Dover area convenience store on Friday morning.

The initial investigation reportedly found that the incident occurred around 9:30 AM, as a man entered the Shore Stop on North DuPont Highway. Officials say the suspect was armed with a knife and confronted a 36-year-old male employee.

According to the report, the suspect demanded money from the cash register and the clerk complied with the demands, turning over an undisclosed amount of money. The suspect apparently then ran.

There were no injuries reported in this incident.

Officials say the suspect was described as male, 5’05”-5’10” tall, wearing a dark colored shirt, blue jeans, gloves, and glasses. He was reportedly armed with an unknown type of knife, and the investigation shows the suspect shed the clothing he was wearing, including his shoes and the knife, before running to a nearby store where he waited for a car to pick him up.

According to the report, the car in the photo appears to be a newer model Honda CRV with unknown Pennsylvania registration.
