Kevin Michael Cox, accused in armed robberies using the weapon of needles allegedly infected with HIV

A Wilmington Delaware man is in custody accused of brandishing hypodermic needles allegedly tainted with HIV in order to rob several stores on the east coast.

Police say 36-year-old Kevin Michael Cox pulled out needles and threatened to stab attendants in at least two stores in Delaware if clerks did not give him the cash in the store tills. Cops say he got away with $314 in two robberies in Delaware county.

The Delaware County Times reports Cox faces multiple charges:

On Wednesday, Delaware County District Attorney G. Michael Green announced that a warrant had been issued for Cox, whose last known address is Wilmington, Del. He is facing multiple counts of robbery, aggravated assault, theft by unlawful taking, terroristic threats, reckless endangerment, receiving stolen property and possessing an instrument of crime.

He is currently being held in jail, but could be released if he puts up a $93,000 bond.

Police in Pennsylvania believe he is the same man who committed similar robberies in that state.

PA cops say they will wait to see what happens in Delaware before they seek to have Cox brought to the state to face charges.
