Date Posted: Monday, February 2nd, 2026

The Delaware State Police arrested 50-year-old Gary Calloway Jr. of Georgetown, Delaware, in connection with a series of burglaries at a used parts business where he was previously employed.

On January 26, 2026, troopers responded to Donovan Salvage Works, located at 2062 Donovans Road, in Georgetown, Delaware for a reported theft. Responding troopers learned staff began noticing missing inventory since December 2025. On the date of the report, staff also observed footprints in the snow leading away from the business. While following the tracks, employees located some of their missing inventory on a nearby property. The staff also reported seeing Calloway, a former employee who was terminated two years prior, in the area. When Calloway noticed the employees, he attempted to hide before fleeing to his vehicle.

The Delaware State Police Troop 4 Criminal Investigations Unit assumed the case and learned that between late November 2025 and January 2026, Calloway damaged a lock and committed seven overnight burglaries, stealing an estimated $5,000 worth of inventory. Detectives also discovered how Calloway often pawned the stolen products and sometimes used a deceased family member’s identification to conceal his identity and complete pawn transactions.

On January 30, 2026, detectives apprehended Calloway in Ellendale without incident. He was taken to Troop 4 where he was charged with the below listed offenses, arraigned by Justice of the Peace Court 2, and released on a $47,100 unsecured bond.
