Delaware State Police searching for suspect in armed robbery

WILMINGTON, Del. (AP) - Delaware State Police are trying to find a woman who authorities say robbed a Big Lots store after showing employees a gun she had in her waistband.

Police say they were told by two store employees Friday night that a woman entered the store carrying shopping bags.

After filling the bags with household goods, she attempted to leave the store without paying. When employees confronted her, she showed them a holstered handgun in her waistband and announced she had a gun.

Police say she left the store and fled in a black Dodge Durango.

The suspect has been identified as 50-year-old Angelique Banks, of Bear. She has been charged with two counts of first-degree robbery.

Police urge anyone with information about her whereabouts to contact them.
