DSP investigating robbery of a pedestrian

The Delaware State Police say they are investigating the robbery of a pedestrian as she was walking along Seashore Highway early Thursday morning.

According to the report, the initial investigation found out that the incident happened around 12 AM as a 21-year old woman was walking westbound on the shoulder of SR404 after leaving her job in Georgetown.  

The woman reportedly saw a newer model sports car pass her and then make a U-turn before pulling up behind her and parking along the shoulder. Officials say four men got out of the car and confronted the woman, threatening to hurt her with a gun, although apparently no weapon was shown.

One of the suspects apparently then pushed her and took her purse before the four men got back in the car, and drove away. The victim was reportedly uninjured in the incident.

According to the report, the suspects where all described as men, and were in a newer model sports car with a rear spoiler.

If anyone has any information in reference to this incident, they are asked to contact Troop 4 Major Crimes at 302-856-5850. Information may also be provided by calling Delaware Crime Stoppers at 1-800-TIP-3333, via the internet, or by sending an anonymous tip by text to 274637 using the keyword “DSP.”
