Milford Police have arrested a local man following a reported burglary in progress earlier this week.
On December 15, 2025, at approximately 6:30 p.m., officers with the Milford Police Department were dispatched to a residence in the 11000 block of Farmerfield Street in the Simpson’s Crossing development. Upon arrival, officers located Rousevel Delva, 39, of Milford, inside the home.
Investigators determined that Delva did not reside at the residence and allegedly forced his way inside when another occupant entered the home. Police also reported that property inside the residence was damaged prior to Delva being taken into custody. He was arrested without incident.
Delva has been charged with the following offenses:
- Burglary in the Second Degree (Felony)
- Two counts of Endangering the Welfare of a Child
- Offensive Touching
- Criminal Mischief under $1,000
Following his arrest, Delva was presented before Justice of the Peace Court 3. He was committed to the Department of Correction after failing to post a $12,200 secured bond. A no-contact order with the victims was also issued.
Delva is scheduled to appear at a later date in Sussex County Court of Common Pleas for a preliminary hearing.
