Lewes-The Delaware State Police Troop 4 Property Unit Detectives have charged a Rehoboth man and Lewes woman in connection with 8 residential burglaries that took place between October 26 and November 1, 2011 in the Donovan Smith Mobile Home Park, Lewes, DE.

The arrest of couple occurred on Tuesday, November 1, 2011 at approximately 9:40 a.m. when Troopers responded to the area of the 16000 block of Grandview Street after vigilant community members contacted the State Police after observing the couple acting suspicious in the area.  Troopers took them into custody and through further investigation determined that they had burglarized an unoccupied residence on Grandview Street and were also sleeping and staying in the residence.  Troop 4 Property Unit Detectives joined the investigation and were able to connect Iglesias and Lee for their involvement in recent burglaries that took place in the Donovan Smith Mobile Home Park.  Lee would forcibly enter the residences, while Iglesias remained outside as a lookout.  Once inside, Lee would remove flat screen televisions, video game systems, and other property. 

The Delaware State Police would like to thank the public for their continued support, involvement, and vigilance in providing information and reporting suspicious persons and activity.
