2 Teens Wearing Masks, Tactical Gear Charged in Late-Night Door Knocking Prank, Police Say

Police say the suspects wore masks and tactical vests, and officers searched the neighborhood but did not find them.

  • New Castle County Police Department officers are seeking four masked men seen knocking on doors in the Mallard Pointe neighborhood of Delaware late Friday night.
  • Residents reported the men wore tactical vests and appeared to carry rifles while heading eastbound on Mallard Road with two individuals on bicycles and two on foot.
  • When officers responded to the 1200 block of Canvasback Drive around 10:50 p.m., they conducted a thorough search of the area with K9s but did not locate any suspects.
  • Police believe the rifles are Airsoft-style weapons, though confirmation remains pending; video footage shows a masked man in a hockey-style mask knocking on doors before fleeing.
  • Anyone with information regarding the incident is urged to contact 911 or the department's non-emergency number at 302-573-2800 to assist investigators.
