SEAFORD, Del. – The Seaford Police Department arrested their person of interest connected to several bank robberies in the area on Friday morning.

On Oct. 24, Seaford police officers responded to the Sunrise Motel for a reported sighting of bank robbery suspect, Donald T. Gross. Community members saw Gross and a female subject exit a vehicle and enter into a nearby property and immediately contacted police.

Officers surrounded the property while U.S. Marshal’s members confirmed the presence of Gross. Once confirmed, authorities entered the building and took Gross and a woman, identified as 30-year-old Marlyn Gramajo-Gutierrez, into custody. Both subjects were transported to the Seaford Police Department.
