Lewes- The Delaware State Police have arrested two men in connection with numerous burglaries that have occurred in Sussex County since December of 2010.
 
On Monday, February 7, 2011, detectives arrested James E. Butler, 22, and Andrew Jugler, 21, after receiving information that they were in a vehicle in the parking lot of the Super Fresh Market on Coastal Highway in Lewes.  Detectives had developed the two as suspects in 59 residential burglaries and 5 thefts from automobiles that had been occurring in the Rehoboth Beach, Angola, and Lewes areas after they were advised that a 23 year old Milton man had attempted to sell a stolen firearm to one of the victim’s of these burglaries. The gun that the Milton man was attempting to sell to the victim was the same gun that had been stolen from the victim’s residence during a burglary on January 28, 2010. After further investigation, it was learned that the Milton man had purchased the gun from James Butler. Several attempts were made to locate Butler; however, he was not located until his arrest on February 7. Detectives were then able to link Butler and Jugler to the burglaries and the thefts from motor vehicles.
 
Both defendants were arraigned at JP Court 3. James Butler was committed to the Sussex Correctional Institute for lack of $320,000.00 secured bail. Andrew Jugler was committed to the Sussex Correctional Institute for lack of $338, 500 secured bail.
