Update – Attempt to Locate 4th Suspect State Police Arrest Trio for Series of Thefts from All Saints Cemetery in Wilmington

Date Posted: Wednesday, February 26th, 2025

The Delaware State Police continues investigating the series of thefts from All Saints Cemetery in Wilmington last year, and are requesting the public’s assistance with locating the fourth suspect, 32-year-old Mark Worley of Wilmington, Delaware.

Between September 2024 to November 2024, troopers investigated multiple thefts of a similar nature from All Saints Cemetery, located at 6001 Kirkwood Highway in Wilmington. In each incident, 4 unknown suspects, carrying large bags/backpacks, trespassed onto the cemetery’s property after-hours, and stole bronze ceremonial vases from individual gravestones. The suspects then fled with the stolen vases in a car that was parked nearby. Over the 3-month span, the suspects stole nearly 200 vases, which totaled over $100,000 in stolen property.

Through investigative means, troopers identified the suspects responsible for the thefts as Thomas Hudson, Ashley Newcomb, Alonza Mosley, and later Mark Worley. On February 19, 2025, Hudson, Newcomb, and Mosley were arrested at a residence in Newark. Troopers obtained a warrant for Worley’s arrest for multiple felony theft and related charges, and made several attempts to locate him. Troopers are seeking the public’s assistance in their on-going efforts to locate Worley, whose current whereabouts are unknown.

Delaware State Police Troop 6 continues investigating these incidents. Troopers are asking anyone with information regarding Worley’s whereabouts or this case to contact Corporal C. Hofmann by calling (302) 633-5000. Information may also be provided by sending a private Facebook message to the Delaware State Police or contacting Delaware Crime Stoppers at 1-800-847-3333.
