Georgetown– The Delaware State Police have arrested 36-year-old Luis Perez-Gonzalez of Georgetown on burglary and theft charges.

On 06/30/2020, at approximately 4:57 p.m., troopers were dispatched to a suspicious person complaint in the Fish Hook Mobile Home Park, Georgetown. Upon arrival, troopers made contact with residents on Leah Street. It was discovered a 10-year-old female rode her bicycle to the community mailboxes when she was followed by Perez-Gonzalez. When she left the mailboxes, Perez-Gonzalez followed her on foot back to her residence and remained standing outside. The juvenile was extremely frightened by Perez-Gonzalez’s behavior and informed her parents of the incident. A few minutes after returning inside, Perez-Gonzalez entered the residence through the front door while the family was home and witnessed by a 4-year-old juvenile inside, removing keys hanging up inside. When the keys were discovered missing, Perez-Gonzalez was still standing outside of the residence. When troopers arrived on the scene, Perez-Gonzalez was contacted in the area of the home and taken into custody without incident.

He was transported to Troop 4 and charged with the following crimes:

  • Burglary 2nd Degree (Felony)
