Suspects arrested in Delaware auction house burglary

LINCOLN, Del. (WPVI) -- Police say tips helped them nab the men who they say were caught on video stealing cash and jewelry from an auction house in Delaware.

The burglary happened at Wilson's Auction near Lincoln, Sussex County on Monday night.

Authorities say tipsters help identify the suspects as 22-year-old Christopher Carter and 22-year-old Christopher Willey.

The suspects broke into the auction house shirtless and got away with $4,000 and other items from one of the main buildings on Dupont Highway.

On Wednesday, a tip caller reported seeing one of the men outside the Harrington Raceway and Casino.

Troopers arrived and the suspect, later identified as Carter, fled on foot. He was eventually caught and taken into custody.

On Friday, police were able to track down Willey at the Red Mill Inn, also thanks to the help of tip calls.

Both men face a number of charges including burglary and theft.

Delaware State Police would like to thank everyone for their help in apprehending the suspects.
