DOVER — A 49-year-old Dover man was arrested after a robbery in the parking lot of a 7-Eleven on North DuPont Highway on Monday, authorities said.

According to Dover police spokesman Sgt. Mark Hoffman, officers responded to the store at approximately 4:56 a.m. and contacted a 58-year-old woman from Brooklyn, New York.
