Delaware State Police have arrested 19-year-old Dylan Charles and 22-year-old Quincey Thomas, both of Wilmington, Delaware, following a home invasion-robbery and pursuit that occurred yesterday in Kent County. A third unknown suspect remains at-large.
On November 11, 2025, at approximately 1:00 p.m., troopers responded to the 100 block of East Chimney Top Lane in Felton for a report of a home invasion-robbery. The preliminary investigation revealed that two men, identified as Dylan Charles and Quincey Thomas, who were known by the female that answered the door, as friends of a 17-year-old male resident. Once inside, Charles and Thomas, confronted the teenage male, demanded money, and threatened him with a handgun. The female who answered the door heard what was going on, retrieved a rifle, and confronted Charles and Thomas. The suspects took the rifle, pointed it at her, and demanded her money. Two children were in the house at the time, one barricaded themself in a bedroom, and the other ran to a neighbor’s house. Charles and Thomas fled from the residence, with the firearms and money, in a white Infiniti QX5. The 17-year-old male victim and the two children were not hurt. The female victim suffered a minor injury.
Responding troopers saw the Infiniti on State Route 12 and tried to pull it over, but it sped away. During the pursuit, the Infiniti, driven by Thomas, drove in a reckless and careless manner on several area Kent County roads and firearms were seen being thrown from the SUV along State Route 1. They were later recovered. The Infiniti ultimately came to a stop after stop sticks were deployed, and the SUV crashed into the center median cable barricade and then a guardrail on the shoulder on State Route 1 near Little Creek Road. Thomas, Charles, and a third unknown black male suspect fled from the SUV. Thomas and Charles were taken into custody, but the third suspect was not located. Detectives are working to identify and locate him.
The firearms that were recovered were the victim’s rifle and a handgun, with no serial number, that was used by the suspects during the robbery. During a search of the Infiniti, troopers found approximately 1,595.9 grams of marijuana.
