A robbery at the Anchorage Inn on Coastal Highway is under investigation.

According to Delaware State Police, a man entered the motel Wednesday night at about 9:34 p.m. and asked for change from the front desk clerk. The employee obtained the money from somewhere else in the motel and returned, but the suspect asked for a different variation of cash. Then, the suspect followed the male clerk, shoved him to the ground and grabbed a bank bag.

The suspect is described as a black male, wearing a dark baseball cap and dark-colored clothing. He was last seen fleeing south on foot from the Anchorage Inn. State Police said no surveillance photos were available.
