Two similar crimes, suspects at large
By Frank Gerace

Wilmington police hope you can help them find suspects in 2 similar crimes that happened around the same time Monday night.

The victim of the first crime told officers 3 men came up to him as he jogged along the 15 hundred block of North Lincoln Street around 8 PM.

One of the men held a gun on the victim and demanded his I-pod and cell phone, while the other two took off his sweatpants and forced him to run away.

At about the same time, 3 men, one of whom apparently had a gun, demanded cash from another man in the 14 hundred block of Stapler Place.

The suspects patted the victim down and went through his pockets, and when they didn't find any money, they took off.
