Newark Armed Robbery Sparks High-Speed Chase; Four Arrested

A chaotic scene unfolded in Newark, Delaware, on August 5, 2025, when an armed robbery escalated into a high-speed chase involving multiple vehicles and a crash that resulted in four arrests. The incident began at approximately 19:10 local time in the Village of Kent Apartment community, where police responded to reports of gunfire.

Upon arrival, officers found several vehicles and buildings damaged by bullets, along with numerous shell casings scattered across the area. Preliminary investigations indicated that two individuals had arrived to purchase a gaming console when they were confronted by two armed suspects who attempted to rob them. Following the robbery, shots were fired, but fortunately, no injuries were reported from the gunfire.

Officers provided a description of the suspects’ vehicle — a black 2015 Dodge Charger — along with partial license plate details to other law enforcement agencies. At around 19:32, a Delaware State Trooper spotted the Charger speeding through Newark and initiated a pursuit. The chase concluded when the Charger collided with the rear of a white 2019 Toyota Highlander on South Chapel Street. The impact caused the Highlander to rotate into oncoming traffic, strike a curb and mailbox, and ultimately roll over before coming to rest off the roadway. The 18-year-old driver of the Highlander was taken to a local hospital with minor injuries.

Following the crash, the occupants of the Dodge Charger fled on foot into a nearby farm field but were apprehended shortly thereafter by responding officers. During the investigation, multiple firearms were recovered.

Charges Filed Against Suspects

The suspects have been identified as 18-year-old Michael Green, 24-year-old Taheem Nicholas, a 17-year-old male, and a 16-year-old male, all from Newark. They face a variety of felony charges related to the robbery, firearms possession, and the subsequent pursuit.

Taheem Nicholas faces two felony counts of robbery in the first degree, possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, possession of a firearm by a person prohibited, conspiracy in the second degree, and a misdemeanor charge of resisting arrest. He is held on a cash bail of $83,000 at the Howard R. Young Correctional Institution.

Michael Green faces similar charges, including two felony counts of robbery in the first degree and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, along with conspiracy and resisting arrest. His cash bail is set at $63,000.

– The 17-year-old male faces two counts of robbery in the first degree, possession of a firearm by a person under 21, possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, receiving a stolen firearm, conspiracy in the second degree, and resisting arrest. His bail is set at $72,000.

– The 16-year-old male faces the same charges as his 17-year-old counterpart, with a bail of $66,500.

Detectives from the Major Crimes Squad and Evidence Detection Unit continue to investigate the incident. Authorities have not yet disclosed the total number of firearms recovered or whether additional charges may be forthcoming. All charges remain allegations at this stage of the legal process, and each defendant is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in a court of law.

As the investigation unfolds, the community remains alert, reflecting on the day’s events and the importance of safety and vigilance in their neighborhoods.
