Wilmington, DE – Delaware State Police have arrested Gregory Collins, age 65, from Wilmington, in connection with a robbery at Citizens Bank earlier today.

Troopers were dispatched at approximately 10:05 a.m. on Thursday to the Citizens Bank on Marsh Road in Wilmington regarding a robbery incident. Initial investigations indicated a black male suspect approached a bank teller, demanding money while displaying an unknown object beneath his shirt. The teller complied, and the suspect made off in a blue Mitsubishi Outlander with an undisclosed amount of cash.

With the assistance of investigative techniques, police located Collins near a motel in New Castle and arrested him without incident. Reviewing the bank’s surveillance footage, detectives identified Collins as the suspect responsible for the robbery.

Collins was then taken to Troop 2, where he was charged with first-degree robbery, arraigned by Justice of the Peace Court 11, and subsequently held at Howard R. Young Correctional Institution on a $60,000 secured bond.
