FELTON, Del. — Two Wilmington men are in custody after Delaware State Police say they forced their way into a Felton home Monday afternoon, threatened residents with guns, and led troopers on a chase across Kent County.
Investigators say 19-year-old Dylan Charles and 22-year-old Quincey Thomas entered a home on East Chimney Top Lane just after 1 p.m. Police say the pair confronted a 17-year-old male and demanded money before taking a rifle from another resident who tried to intervene. Two children were inside at the time but were not injured. According to the report, Troopers later spotted the suspects driving a white Infiniti SUV on Route 12. When they refused to stop, police deployed stop sticks along Route 1 near Little Creek Road, ending the pursuit after the vehicle hit a guardrail.
Both men were arrested, while a third unidentified suspect fled on foot and remains wanted. Detectives recovered firearms and more than three pounds of marijuana from the vehicle. Charles and Thomas each face felony charges including first-degree robbery, home invasion, and multiple weapons offenses. Both are being held at Sussex Correctional Institution on cash bonds exceeding $140,000.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Detective P. Campbell at 302-698-8504 or Delaware Crime Stoppers at 1-800-847-3333.
