The Delaware State Police are investigating an armed robbery of a Loomis armored transport vehicle guard that occurred yesterday afternoon in Wilmington.
Officials said on May 21, 2025, at approximately 12:38 p.m., troopers responded to the Restaurant Depot, located at 200 Cornell Drive, Wilmington, for a report of an armed robbery of a Loomis armored transport vehicle.
The preliminary investigation showed that three unknown black male suspects confronted an armed Loomis guard as he was returning to the armored transport vehicle with a cash carrying bag. One of the suspects displayed a firearm while another suspect disarmed the guard and took the cash carrying bag police said.
Following this, the suspects attempted to enter the armored transport vehicle, which was occupied by a second Loomis guard. After the suspects were unable to enter the armored transport vehicle, one of the suspects fled in a dark-colored Nissan SUV with an undisclosed amount of money in the cash carrying bag, and the other 2 suspects fled on foot toward Hastie Drive. The guards were not injured.
The suspects are described as unknown black males, who are possibly armed.
