7-Year-Old Boy, Mom Robbed at Knifepoint

Police are searching for an armed man who they say robbed a woman while she was with her son.
Police say the 43-year-old woman was with her 7-year-old son at the WSFS Bank on Fox Hunt Drive in Bear, Delaware on Saturday, around 6 p.m.

The woman had just drawn money from the ATM and was walking back to her car with her son. Suddenly, police say, a masked man armed with a knife approached the two of them and demanded money.

The suspect is described as a man standing between 5-foot-9 and 5-foot-10 and weighing between 180 and 190 pounds. He was last seen wearing a Grey sweatshirt, black pants and dark-colored shoes with a black mask covering his face.
