Police: Delivery drivers targeted
Delaware:
Since Oct. 31 there has been a rash of holdups in northern New Castle County targeting food deliverymen. Five of the seven robberies and one failed attempt have occurred in the past week, most recently Monday night.
The article offers a number of safety tips. Don’t bother looking. None of them include anything about defending yourself. One says not to resist because the money isn’t worth the risk. That’s possibly true, but many of these robberies involve the delivery driver getting beat first. A policy of “don’t resist, it’s just money” simply encourages more copycats, which is exactly what we’re seeing.
