Location: A residential address in the Mobile Gardens MHP in Seaford, Delaware
Date and Time: Friday, February 26, 2010, at approximately 1:30 a.m.
Suspect(s): Maurice Antonio Handy, Jr., 20, with an unknown address. This subject is known to move between Dover, Seaford and Federalsburg, Maryland areas.
Resume: Detectives from Troop 4 in Georgetown are seeking the whereabouts of Maurice Handy who is currently wanted for Attempted Murder. The alleged incident took place today at a residence along North Parkway in the Mobile Gardens MHP in Seaford.
The case came to light after a 30-year-old female responded to Nanticoke Hospital to receive treatment after an assault.
The victim said she was lying on her couch when, unbeknownst to her, Maurice Handy apparently had unlawfully entered her residence and located her in the living room. The victim said that she looked up when she heard a noise and saw Maurice walking toward her in the hallway. She yelled for him to leave, however, he began to assault her. The suspect reportedly strangled the victim and struck her several times in the head. The victim tried to call 911, but the suspect took the phone from her.
The victim was able to start screaming again and the suspect eventually fled the residence.
The victim was released from the hospital with injuries consistent with the assault she alleged.
It is understood that the victim and the suspect have an ongoing dispute over money as Handy had stolen cash and credit cards from the victim in the past. Handy tried to call the victim last night to apologize for the theft, but the victim told him not to call her anymore and leave her alone.
It is not believed that this incident was domestic related.
A computer check revealed Handy is also currently wanted in reference to several different incidents. The charges consist of two counts of felony Burglary and Theft (misdemeanor).
Anyone who may know of Handy’s whereabouts is asked to call 911, Troop 4 at 302-856-5850 ext. 224 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-TIP-3333.

Seems like crime is increasing in Seaford, is it becoming like the Salisbury area?
