Multi-Agency Investigation Leads to Arrest of Maryland Man Following Pursuit, Ending Nearly Two-Year Burglary Spree

The Delaware State Police arrested 42-year-old Keeno Exum, from Elkton, Maryland, in connection with multiple burglaries spanning almost two years.

From January 2024 through December 2025, the Delaware State Police Property Crimes Unit investigated 26 burglaries involving a suspect with similar appearance or pattern of behavior in each incident. Investigators learned the suspect typically wore similar clothing and a black mask and often targeted Asian or Hispanic restaurants between 4:30 a.m. and 7:00 a.m. Investigators discovered the suspect would either use a prybar to force open a door or throw a hard object through the business’s glass to gain access. Once inside, the suspect ransacked offices and cash registers before escaping on foot with stolen money.

Detectives learned the same suspect targeted multiple businesses in surrounding jurisdictions, including Middletown, Delaware. Through joint investigative efforts, State Police Detectives and Middletown Police Detectives identified Exum as the suspect from all incidents and found out he drove multiple vehicles, including a Toyota Camry.

On December 15, 2025, at approximately 6:15 a.m., troopers saw Exum driving the Camry on Old Capitol Trail, near St. James Church Road, in Wilmington.

Troopers pursued Exum, however the pursuit was discontinued shortly after entering Pennsylvania. Investigators watched the Camry from a safe distance until it stopped at an apartment in the 800 Block of Clear Blossom Drive, in Elkton, Maryland.

Detectives requested assistance from the Elkton Police Department, who obtained a search warrant for the apartment. At approximately 11:00 a.m., the warrant was executed and Exum attempted to escape by jumping from a second story window. Exum was taken into custody. A search of the apartment revealed clothing and other items detectives believe Exum used during the burglaries.
