A 21-year-old female and a 15-year-old male arrived at their home after closing a tobacco store on Pulaski Highway in Bear, Del. When they got out of their car, they were confronted by two men, both armed with knives. The suspects demanded property, and the male victim surrendered cash, which included proceeds from the store. A purse was stolen from the female.

The suspects, both wearing black shirts and masks, were last seen running toward Marrows Road. One of the suspects had a thin build, and the other had a large build.

Neither victim was injured. The victims' father, who was inside the house recovering from recent heart surgery, suffered chest pain after learning of the robbery and was taken by ambulance to Christiana Hospital for treatment.
