The investigation began on Monday October 20, 2014 around 10:28 a.m. when a 66 year old resident of Sea Air Mobile Home Park had just left his residence and was walking his dog when he observed a white male subject exit a house he was responsible for looking after. When confronted by the alert neighbor and questioned as to what he was doing there, the suspect fled on foot and scaled a fence behind the burglarized house located in the 19000 block of Atlantic Avenue. The witness was able to provide a detailed description of the suspect and general direction in which he ran. A state police K9 was utilized to track to the area of a residence on Dodd Avenue, but was unable to locate the subject at that time.
On Tuesday October 21, 2014, detectives with the State Police Criminal Investigations Unit assumed the investigation and were able to establish Alan F. Miller III, 32 of Rehoboth, as the suspect in this case. A search warrant was conducted at his residence on Dodd Avenue in Sea Air MHP around 3:00 p.m. and detectives located suspected stolen property possibly linked to two other burglaries in the area such as a flat screen TV and various electronic devices. At the time of the search warrant, Alan Miller was not at home, but was located around 5:10 p.m. in the neighborhood and was taken into custody without incident.
Alan Miller was transported back to Troop 4 where he was arrested for three counts of Burglary 2nd, two counts of Possession of Burglary Tools, two counts of Attempted Theft under $1,500.00, Conspiracy 2nd, Possession of Drug Paraphernalia, and two counts of Criminal Mischief. He was arraigned at JP3 and committed to Sussex Correctional Institution on $42,400.00 cash bond.
The residential neighborhoods of Sea Air MHP and Camelot MHP have been experiencing a rash of burglaries over the last two months and detectives are continuing their investigations into these incidents. Troopers remind residents to be vigilant of the houses that are closed up for the season and conduct periodic checks of those homes. Report any suspicious activity immediately to 9-1-1.
He even looks like a Rehoboth man.
