Millsboro man arrested for robbing convenience store

MILLSBORO, Del. – A Millsboro man was arrested after police say he robbed a local convenience store early Saturday morning.

Just after 3 a.m., troopers responded to the Wawa located at 24930 John J. Williams Highway for a reported robbery. The cashier reported that the suspect, later identified as 34-year-old Andrew Maccord, went into the store wearing a sweatshirt, mask, and gloves to buy a cigar. When the cashier opened the register drawer, Maccord reportedly tried to steal the entire drawer, prying the cashier’s hands off the drawer and stealing an unknown amount of money before fleeing the scene.

The cashier was not injured.

Police were able to identify Maccord as the suspect using surveillance footage, and on Tuesday, he was arrested at his apartment. He was charged with second degree robbery and wearing a disguise during the commission of a felony, and was released on a $4,000 unsecured bond.
