Robbery victims helped police to detain one of their alleged aggressors.
At 11:40 p.m. Aug. 21, the two men were walking toward the entrance of Club Onyx, 2908 S. Columbus Blvd., when three unknown black males approached them, with one asking if they had a light, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. The trio displayed handguns and demanded that they part with their possessions, scoring their jewelry, sneakers, wallets, identification cards, cell phones, and approximately $4,000.
The offenders fled in a silver Hyundai Sonata, with their victims pursuing them southbound along Interstate 95 toward Delaware. Contacting 911, they ended up connected to the Pennsylvania State Police, who joined in the pursuit.
Two of the offenders fled on foot when the vehicle crashed in Wilmington, and the third, Tolliver said, remained in the car due to injuries. The complainants arrived and identified the injured male as the one who had asked them for a light before instigating the robbery. Authorities transferred the supposed leader to Christiana Hospital after seizing evidence related to the crime. As of press time, his extradition had not occurred.
The victims described the second figure as having a dark complexion; being 5-foot-9, 160 pounds, and in his 20s; and armed with a black handgun; and the third as having a medium complexion; being 6 foot, 150 to 160 pounds and in his 20s; and armed with a handgun.
