DOVER, DELAWARE (12/17/2014) City police say a hotel robbery on U.S. 13 this morning may have been done by the same man who robbed a convenience store on the west side of town the night before.
The latest robbery happened at 6:20 a.m. at the Days Inn, 272 N. DuPont Highway (U.S. 13).
A large man wearing a ski mask entered the lobby, displayed a knife and demanded money from an employee. He then fled to the north with the cash.
He was wearing a dark hooded sweatshirt with red writing on it, black gloves, torn blue jeans and black boots, police said, which was similar if not identical clothing to that worn by a man who robbed the Valero/Shore Stop convenience story on Route 8 (Forrest Avenue) Tuesday
