The Delaware State Police arrested 22-year-old Ammar Dixon, from Chester, Pennsylvania, on burglary, theft, and unauthorized use of a motor vehicle charges following several burglaries to a not-for-profit business that occurred mid-March in Claymont.

On March 17, 2026, troopers responded to Conexio Care, located at 590 Naamans Road, for a report of multiple burglaries. The preliminary investigation revealed that between March 13, 2026, and March 17, 2026, an unknown suspect, later identified as Ammar Dixon, unlawfully entered the business multiple times during the overnight hours. The Delaware State Police Criminal Investigations Unit took over the case.

Investigators determined that during the first incident, Dixon, who had no affiliation with the business, was confronted by an employee who was still inside the building. Dixon fled the scene after stealing an access badge. Employees later discovered Dixon had left behind a bag containing items with his personal identifiable information.

Detectives learned that over the following nights, Dixon used the stolen access badge to enter the building multiple times, rummage through offices, and steal keys to vehicles belonging to the business. Dixon then drove several of the vehicles before returning them to the parking garage. Detectives obtained a warrant for Dixon’s arrest.

On April 12, 2026, Dixon was arrested in Pennsylvania for an unrelated incident and, on May 5, 2026, he was extradited to Delaware. Dixon was taken to Troop 2 where he was charged with the below listed offenses, arraigned by Justice of the Peace Court 2, and released on a $19,000 unsecured bond.
