Location: 14000 block and15000 block of Cokesbury Road, 18000 block of Seashore Highway, 14000 block of Hastings Farm Road, and 12000 block of Old Furnace Road
Date of Occurrence: During the night between Saturday September 26th and early Sunday September 27th, 2009
Suspect(s): Two white males- first described as tall, thin, clean shaven, and in his early twenties. The second suspect was described as being shorter, heavier, in his early twenties, and unshaven.
Resume: On the early morning hours of Sunday September 27th, 2009, Troopers responded to several reported burglaries and other related crimes that occurred during the night. The reported burglaries include two local Georgetown churches.
The suspects broke into the Cokesbury Church on Cokesbury Road during the night. The suspects stole three guitars, knocked over electronic equipment, poured cleaning equipment all over items inside the church, and the church was left in disarray.
Troopers also handed a burglary complaint at the Hebron M.P. Church on Seashore Highway. The church is no longer an active church. The suspects entered the church and caused damage to a wooden cabinet and a bible, however nothing was taken from the church.
While investigating the burglary at the Hebron M.P Church, troopers discovered a kiosk located on the church property was also broken into during the night. The kiosk, owned by Georgetown Kawanis, listed several sodas as being stolen from the refrigerator.
Troopers also responded to a couple of other complaints in the area, which appear to be related to the church burglaries. The break-ins were all within a ten mile area.
Trooper responded to the 14000 block of Cokesbury Road at approximately 4:10 a.m. for a report of an assault. A 17 year old male victim was assaulted by unknown suspects, while he was asleep in a vehicle parked on his property. The victim received minor injuries, but did not need medical attention.
Prior to the assault, the suspects had removed several tools from a shed on the property and took a motorcycle. The victim later located the motorcycle. He also found an ATV that he recognized as belonging to a neighbor.
Police then responded to the neighbor’s house on the 14000 block of Hastings Farm Road to take a report on the stolen ATV and process the scene for evidence. The ATV was recovered and returned to the owner.
Later in the morning, troopers responded to the 12000 block of Old Furnace Road for another burglary complaint. The victim reported his chicken house, which has been converted to into storage space, was broken into during the night. Several doors were pried open and items from inside were taken.
The victim also reported a vehicle on the property was entered and a purse from the vehicle was removed. The suspects also attempted to break into the vehicle via the sunroof, causing damage to the vehicle.
Investigators believe all of the above crimes are related. Detectives were following up on several leads on Monday, but have been unable to positively identify the suspects. State Police Detectives are asking for the public’s help in identifying the suspects.
Anyone with information pertaining to this case is asked to call investigators at 302-856-5850 ext. 214 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-TIP-3333
