Newark Police charge man in two robberies 10:40 a.m., May 4, 2006--Newark Police have arrested a taxi-borne Claymont man and charged him in connection with a pair of bank robberies, the most recent at 3:36 p.m., Wednesday, May 3, at the Delaware National Bank on Main Street in Newark and the earlier on April 27 at the WSFS bank branch in College Square Shopping Center. Police said Trynell Brown of Philadelphia Pike, Claymont, has been charged with two counts of robbery in the second degree in the incidents. Police allege that Brown entered the Delaware National Bank on Wednesday and handed a teller a note demanding money. She complied and he fled in a taxicab with an undisclosed amount of money. A Newark Police officer recognized Brown, who had been identified by Delaware State Police as a suspect in an earlier bank robbery, as he was leaving the scene in a taxicab at Ogletown and Marrows roads. The officer stopped the taxi and took Brown into custody. Brown told police that he took the taxi from Claymont to Newark and had the driver wait for him, then got back in the cab after the robbery. The taxi driver was neither involved nor injured in the incident. Police said they have linked Brown to the earlier robbery of the WSFS branch in the College Square Shopping Center. |
