Man Holds Up Woman in Store: Police

A man held up a woman working at an area convenience store last week.

The armed man walked into the Shore Stop at 1612 DuPont Highway in Dover, Del., pulled a handgun out of his waistband, pointed it at the 30-year-old woman behind the counter and demanded money, according to Delaware State Police.

The employee wasn’t hurt.

Investigators described the suspect as standing about 5-foot-9 to 6-foot tall, around 145 to 160 pounds who was wearing a black-hooded jacket with white draw strings, blue jeans, black sneakers and a baseball cap.
