A Delaware man allegedly robbed a bank while disguised in a wig before changing clothes inside a fast-food restroom, police said.
Troopers identified the suspect as 26-year-old Demetrius Frith-Thompson of Milford, Delaware.
On August 29, 2026, troopers responded to a reported robbery at a WSFS Bank in Rehoboth Beach around 9:50 a.m., police said.

Frith-Thompson allegedly entered the bank wearing tight clothing and a wig as part of a female disguise, police said.

On September 3, 2026, Frith-Thompson turned himself in to police, authorities said.
The accused man was charged with second-degree robbery and wearing a disguise during the commission of a felony, police said. He was arraigned and released on a $3,000 unsecured bond.
