Police arrest Seaford man in connection to late 2021 string of robberies

SEAFORD, Del. – A Seaford man has been arrested following a string of robberies late last year.

Between October 1, 2021, and December 20, 2021, Seaford Police responded the Valero Shore Stop for four armed robberies and to the Dunkin Donuts for one armed robbery. In all of these incidents, the unknown subject wore a mask to conceal their identity and displayed a knife. The subject would then demand money from the clerk and flee on foot.

Through the review of witness statements and video surveillance, it was determined that the robberies were committed by the same subject. Further investigation led police to conduct a search warrant on the residence of 31-year-old Tyshae Williams and collect a DNA sample from Williams, which resulted in a positive match.

On Monday, all evidence was presented before a Grand Jury for the indictment of Williams, and a warrant was issued for his arrest. Williams was arrested at his residence on Thursday and charged with five counts of first degree robbery, five counts of possession of a deadly weapon during the commission of a felony, five counts of possession of a deadly weapon by a person prohibited, five counts of carrying a concealed deadly weapon, and one count of tampering with physical evidence.

Williams was held at SCI on a $100,000 cash bond.
