Gunman Holds Up Woman Working at Delaware Wawa

An armed man pointed a gun at a young woman working the overnight shift at a Delaware Wawa over the weekend.

The gunman entered the convenience store along Wilson road in Wilmington around 1:45 a.m. Saturday then pointed a handgun at a 21-year-old worker and demanded she empty the registers and safe, said Delaware State Police. The woman behind the counter handed the robber an undisclosed amount of cash before he fled the store.

Luckily, the worker wasn’t hurt.

Investigators described the gunman as being in his early 20s, standing around 6-feet tall and weighing between 160 to 180 pounds. He wore a blue jacket, black jeans and gray sneakers at the time of the heist.
