A 17-year-old New Castle boy is in custody, and State Police are looking for his accomplice, in an assault and robbery outside a convenience store.

State Police say Brian Barnett and another suspect approached a truck driver from behind as he got out of his truck in the back parking lot of the Wawa on North DuPont Highway in Minquadale shortly before midnight Wednesday.

One of the suspects held the victim while the other took his wallet, and both suspects ran away, but witnesses fingered Barnett, and troopers caught up with him on Karlyn Drive.

Barnett's accomplice is still on the loose, and anyone who knows his whereabouts can call State Police.
