Detectives with the Wilmington Police Department are investigating an armed robbery that occurred Thursday morning.
According to Wilmington Police Department Spokeswoman Lucy Crockett, just after 5:30 a.m. Thursday a 20-year-old man was robbed at gunpoint at his Wrightsville Avenue home.
The suspect demanded money from him and the man handed over some cash, Crockett said. A 20-year-old woman was in another bedroom, but the suspect could not enter because her door was locked. The suspect exited through a sliding glass door, Crockett said.
The victim described the suspect as a black male about 6-feet tall, Crockett said. He was wearing dark clothing, a hooded sweatshirt and a handkerchief over his face.
Anyone with information about this case is asked to call the Wilmington Police Department at (910) 343-3600. Information can be submitted anonymously though Text-A-Tip by entering Tip708 with the information and sent to CRIMES (274637).
