"Two University of Delaware students were robbed at gunpoint early Saturday morning, Newark police say.

About 2:30 a.m., in the area of South Chapel Street and Continental Avenue, two 20-year-old UD students were walking south on South Chapel Street in Newark when they were approached by the two robbers, said Lt. Fred Nelson, a spokesman for the Police Department.

“The suspects engaged the victims in conversation and then produced handguns,” Nelson said.

After the victims turned over their cellphones and wallets, police said, the robbers fled north on South Chapel Street. Neither victim was injured during this incident.

Both robbers were described as black males, late teens to early 20s, thin build, wearing dark-colored hooded sweat shirts.

Anyone with information regarding this investigation should contact Detective William Anderson at (302) 366-7100 ext. 3469 or William.Anderson@cj.state.de.us."

It was worse just a couple of years ago, but the "improvement" may simply be from underreporting of crime, or the reclassification of the crimes. Just the same -- Delaware is becoming a "third-world country."
