CLAYMONT, Del. — Delaware State Police are investigating a robbery that occurred Tuesday afternoon at a McDonald’s on Philadelphia Pike during a planned sale arranged online.
According to investigators, two unidentified males met the victim inside the fast-food restaurant at 2702 Philadelphia Pike around 4:30 p.m. The meeting was intended for the purchase of an item the victim had listed for sale.
Before the transaction could take place, one of the suspects grabbed a bag containing the item, prompting a struggle. During the confrontation, a suspect reportedly reached toward his waistband and implied he had a firearm, prompting the victim to release the bag.
The suspects then fled the scene on foot with the victim’s property, heading toward Philadelphia Pike, police said.
Both suspects are described as Black males. No further identifying details or surveillance images have been released at this time.
The investigation is ongoing, and police are working to obtain video footage from the area.
State Police have not confirmed if the weapon was real or if any injuries occurred during the incident.
