Tuesday July 20, 2010 Delaware State Police arrested Curtis L. Fuhr-34 of Holly Hill Road Milford Delaware following an investigation into two separate theft complaints.

The first theft is reported to have occurred on June 28, 2010 on Elm Street Seaford Delaware. During this investigation Troopers investigated thefts from multiple vehicles at DOS Transportation. Curtis L. Fuhr entered these vehicles and removed items ranging from a small television, Garmin GPS, Stryker CB radio, microwave, cooler and power inverter. These and additional items were taken from a total of four trucks parked on DOS Transportation Inc’s property.

State Police as a result of their investigation obtained witness information which linked Fuhr to the above mentioned thefts. Fuhr along with another male subject was reportedly selling off items from a red pickup truck to persons at the Uncle Willies Truck Stop located at 12984 S. DuPont Highway. Information obtained through the investigation further revealed that Fuhr was a former employee of DOS Transportation and drove a red pickup truck. Positive identification of Fuhr was established and warrants subsequently obtained in this investigation.

The second theft occurred July 16, 2010 on Nanticoke Business Park Drive Greenwood, Delaware. During this investigation Fuhr is alleged to have entered a secure gated area after damaging a chain link fence. Once inside the gate a 14 foot aluminum Jon boat valued at $1,400 was stolen. Fuhr then took the boat to Schultz & Sons Salvage in Denton, Maryland. The boat was cut into pieces and taken to be salvaged. A check of the boat haul number revealed the items as stolen. Caroline County Sheriff’s Office apprehended Fuhr in this incident.

State Police also obtained arrest warrants for Fuhr regarding this theft. Fuhr was arrested on Tuesday July 20, 2010 and given a released on $12,500 unsecured bond.
