Milton- The Delaware State Police have arrested two suspects after a police chase revealed that the two occupants were wanted on burglary charges.

The incident occurred on Saturday, September 29, 2018 at approximately 1:27, when Troopers where advised that the Fenwick Police Department was in pursuit of vehicle in the area of Coastal Highway and Milton Ellendale Highway.  Troopers observed the vehicle, a maroon 2014 Nissan Altima traveling southbound on Coastal Highway.  The driver of the vehicle failed to stop for police and continued to flee while committing multiple traffic violations. While attempting to turn left onto Coventry Drive, the vehicle exited the roadway, striking foliage and a bush. The vehicle continued onto Coventry Drive and then turned onto Nassau Drive where it eventually came to a stop due to a police vehicle blocking the roadway.  The passenger, identified as 28-year-old Christopher Boone of Lincoln attempted to exit the vehicle and was immediately taken into custody.
