NEWARK, Del. (CBS) – Police in Delaware have arrested a man in connection with a gas station robbery last weekend.

It happened on April 1 at the Shell gas station located on the 2400 block of Pulaski Highway in Newark.

No injuries were reported.

Gary is facing robbery charges. He's being held on $66,000 secured bail.
