State Police Seek Assistance In Identifying Resort Area Thieves




Rehoboth Beach / Bethany Beach – The Delaware State Police are seeking the public’s assistance in identifying two thieves who are responsible for stealing money from two local businesses.

In this incident two unknown black male suspects entered the business. One light skinned black male wearing a black White Sox hat proceeded to the office area and utilized an unknown object to pry open the locked office door, removing an undisclosed amount of money in rolled quarters. This theft did occur while the store was open. Employees informed police that they did hear banging noises coming from the rear of the establishment near the office area, however they were busy at the time and did not inquire further. It was later determined that the office door was forced open and the money was taken. Surveillance video captured the suspect wearing the White Sox hat.
