Delaware State Police are investigating a robbery that occurred at a business in Bear Tuesday night.
Officials said on May 27, 2025, at approximately 9:31 p.m., troopers responded to La Estrella Tienda Mexicana, located at 795 Pulaski Highway, Bear, for a report of a robbery.
The preliminary investigation showed that two suspects arrived at the business after it had just closed, and approached an employee, who was at the register with a money bag. The suspects remained in the store after they were informed the business was closed and continued inquiring about products.
The employee eventually placed the money bag down and assisted the suspects with retrieving an item within the store. Upon returning to the front of the store, the employee noticed the money bag was missing and notified another employee. Following this, one of the suspects returned the money bag to the employee, who noticed money was missing from the bag police said.
The employees attempted to stop the suspects from leaving the store; however, the suspects pushed the employees and fled to the parking lot. The suspects then entered a black vehicle and fled with an undisclosed amount of money. The two employees were not injured.
The suspects are described as an unknown black male, and an unknown black female. Surveillance video and images are not yet available.
