New Castle City Police say that the suspect in the June 9, 2023 robbery is identified the suspect as Brandon Mosely, a 23-year-old resident of Wilmington.
Following the identification, Brandon Mosely was arraigned on charges of first-degree robbery. He has since been transferred to the custody of the Department of Corrections, where he will remain held in lieu of bail.
