Video – Troopers Investigating Bank Robbery Inside Pike Creek Grocery Store

The Delaware State Police are investigating the robbery of a Pike Creek area bank that took place late Friday afternoon, according to Public Information Officer, Master Corporal Michael Austin.

Austin said the incident occurred at approximately 5:23 p.m., Friday, January 11, 2019, at the Citizens Bank branch inside the ACME grocery store, located at 4720 Limestone Road in the Pike Creek Shopping Center, when a male suspect approached a teller and produced a note demanding money. The suspect also made a statement which led the victim to believe that he was armed with some type of explosive device, according to Austin.

The suspect was described as a white male, wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt, black jacket, and blue jeans.
