Two Men Arrested in Delaware County Home Burglary

Two people have been arrested for burglarizing a Delaware County home.

The Delaware County Sheriff’s Office says on Tuesday, they responded to a report of suspicious individuals walking around a residence in the area of Deer Run Lane in Delhi where the homeowners were not present. Upon arriving, deputies noticed that the front door of the home was open.

Deputies entered the home to conduct a safety check and, during the search, two men took off running from the home. After a brief foot pursuit, both suspects were apprehended and taken into custody.

The Sheriff’s Office says it was determined that items had been stolen from the residence. Deputies were able to recover the stolen property during the investigation.

Nycholas Dakota-John Thompson and Jaden Clinton Roberts, both of Independence, face numerous charges, including Third Degree Burglary, Third Degree Attempted Burglary, Fourth Degree Criminal Mischief, Interference with Official Acts and Trespassing. 

The Delaware County Sheriff’s Office would like to thank the concerned citizen who reported the suspicious activity, noting that this is a great reminder of how community involvement plays a vital role in keeping our neighborhoods safe.
