Two Delaware government buildings sustained damage Saturday afternoon after a man allegedly used a steel sewer lid to force his way inside, according to police.
Authorities said the incident began around 3:50 p.m. when officers responded to a burglar alarm at the Delaware State Bureau of Identification office on South Bay Road in Dover. When they arrived, investigators determined that a masked man had broken through the front door using the heavy lid, taken money, and caused significant property damage inside.
Police later identified the suspect as 29-year-old Isiah Worthy of Dover. In addition to the break-in at the Bureau of Identification, Worthy is accused of targeting another nearby government office — the Delaware Office of Management and Budget’s Fleet Services division.
Detectives said Worthy used the same method to enter the Fleet Services building, where he allegedly took key fobs and accessed a state-owned Ford Mustang Mach-E SUV. He is accused of driving the vehicle recklessly through the parking lot, striking two parked cars before fleeing the area. The vehicle, which was equipped with GPS tracking, was later found abandoned about 15 miles away on Carpenter Bridge Road.
Officers located Worthy a short distance from where the SUV was recovered, walking along Canterbury Road. Police said he was found carrying stolen money, while additional cash was discovered in a bank bag left near the scene of the earlier crashes.
Worthy faces several charges, including burglary, auto theft, and criminal mischief. The Delaware State Bureau of Identification announced it will suspend fingerprinting services on Monday, November 10, as repairs are completed, though other operations will continue as scheduled.
