Delaware State Police arrested 32-year-old Colleen Floyd<\/strong> of Delaware City and 55-year-old David Mitchell<\/strong> of Newark for burglary and other related charges stemming from incidents at the now-closed Emily Bissell Hospital in Wilmington, Delaware.<\/p>\n

The investigation began in August 2024 after troopers received several reports of trespassing and theft from the vacant facility at 3000 Newport Gap Pike. As a result, troopers began conducting surveillance regarding the complaints.<\/p>\n

On September 8, 2024, at approximately 12:30 a.m., surveillance captured an unknown white male arriving on foot carrying a large backpack. The suspect was later seen leaving with copper piping and other materials cut from inside the building, causing significant damage to the facility.<\/p>\n

On September 10, 2024, at approximately 11:51 p.m., surveillance cameras alerted detectives to two individuals, later identified as Floyd and Mitchell, entering the building. Troopers arrived at the facility and heard what they believed to be a loud sawing noise coming from inside. Troopers began searching the building and found both suspects, who were subsequently taken into custody. Further investigation revealed that Mitchell was carrying the same backpack linked to the burglary at the hospital on September 8, 2024.<\/p>\n

Floyd and Mitchell were taken to Troop 2, where they were charged with multiple crimes.<\/p>\n

\n

Floyd was charged with the crimes listed below, arraigned by Justice of the Peace Court 11, and committed to Delores J. Baylor Correctional Institution on a $11,000 cash bond.<\/p>\n
