Delaware State Police arrested 32-year-old Mark Morris from Dover, Delaware, and 29-year-old Aaliyah Coleman of Dover, Delaware, on Tuesday night for felony theft and other related charges.

On December 19, 2023, at approximately 10:15 p.m., troopers were dispatched to the area of Wood Duck Lane in Camden-Wyoming for suspicious individuals in a white Chevrolet Tahoe driving through the neighborhood and checking mailboxes. When troopers arrived, they searched the area for the Tahoe and found it on Hazletville Road. Troopers stopped the vehicle and contacted the driver, identified as Mark Morris, the passenger, identified as Aaliyah Coleman, and a child.

A search of the Tahoe revealed more envelopes and packages with the names and addresses of victims who reside on Hazletville Road and in the community of Wild Quail Golf and Country Club. Morris and Coleman were taken back to Troop 3, where they were charged with multiple crimes.
