Laurel – The Delaware State Police have arrested two Maryland men for two Burglaries and related offenses after Laurel Police Officers apprehended them during a suspicious person investigation.
The investigation began yesterday at approximately 5:00 am when a concerned citizen called 911 reporting two suspicious persons wearing masks in the parking lot of the Shop and Stop in Laurel. When Laurel Officers arrived, the two persons fled on foot and were apprehended after a short foot pursuit.
Police later located a red Ford Ranger Pick-up parked on the side of the store that belonged to the pair. Located in plain view of the bed of the pick-up were several new fishing poles, tackle boxes and chicken grilling grates. Police also located inside the vehicle $39.00, crowbars, gloves, masks, wire-cutters, bolt-cutters and several tools.
Shortly before this apprehension, at 3:59 am a burglar alarm was activated at the Laurel VFW, located at 12168 Laurel Rd. Investigating troopers learned the business was broken into and the rear door was pried open. Additionally, several wires to lights and the alarm system were cut. Fishing poles, tackle boxes and chicken cooking grates were removed.
Furthermore, on the same date at 4:41 am a burglary was reported at Carey’s Garage located at US 13 and SR 24 in Laurel. In this case, a lock to the rear fence was cut to gain entry. The culprits attempted to pry open a shed without success and broke a window to the front door of the business. Once the window was broken, the thieves entered and stole a cash register that contained $39.00.
Detectives also located a rubber glove left at the scene that matched the ones recovered in the red Ford Ranger. As a result of the apprehension, detectives arrested David C. Austin, Jr., 39 of Easton, MD and Shawn D. Radcliffe, 46 of Easton, MD for the 2 counts of Burglary 3rd, 2 counts of Possession of Burglary Tools, 2 counts of Conspiracy 2nd degree, 3 counts of Theft and 2 counts of Criminal Mischief.
Both persons were remanded to the Sussex Correctional Institute in lieu of an $11,000 secured bond.

I can't believe the crap these guys took. Fishing poles and barbeque grates from the VFW? And $39 in cash? What, were they planning a fish fry? Just enough money for bait, beer and charcoal.
What a fine combination of pharmaceuticals these bozos must have been on.
These clowns look like they're right out of the "Home Alone" movie! Too bad McCauley Caulkin wasn't home to hit them over the head with a paint can...
Hmmmmm.... Crack heads maybe or pot heads that needed a snack?
They also tried to break in a bay coin box at the Wash 'n Vac Car Wash across the street from the Stop 'n Shop. Only one problem--there was no money in it because all money gets sucked into a vault in the equipment room. They destroyed a perfectly good clean out box for the vacuum coin system. That is definitely a good one for world's dumbest criminals. Theivery 101 should have taught them to break into a vault that may actually have some money in it. What a couple of dumba$$es!!
