It’s giving major horror movie vibes in Delaware right now. A quiet neighborhood in New Castle is lowkey spiraling after multiple masked men were caught on camera knocking on residents' doors late Friday night.
New Castle County Police reported that officers were called to the 1200 block of Canvasback Drive in the Mallard Pointe area around 10:50 p.m. after neighbors raised the alarm. Surveillance images are honestly chilling: they show one individual rocking a tactical-style vest and a black hockey-style mask while holding what looks exactly like a rifle. Another snap shows a different person in a mask and vest pulling the same move at another front door.
Authorities also noted that a group of four men were spotted heading east on Mallard Road shortly after, with two on bicycles and two on foot. While the police haven't officially confirmed the guns were live—they’re currently leaning toward the theory that these were airsoft-style weapons—real talk, the situation is still terrifying for everyone living there. Despite a massive search involving a K-9 unit, the suspects are still out there.
