GLASGOW, DELAWARE (4/18/2015) A 22-year-old Glasgow man was charged with burglarizing an occupied home in the Frenchtown Woods neighborhood, New Castle County police said Friday.
The burglary happened about 9:15 p.m. Thursday in the first block of Versailles Court.
“The 34-year-old victim reported hearing a loud noise and then footsteps inside his home. He then reported hearing the rattle of his bedroom doorknob and then a suspect at the door. The suspect yelled an expletive and fled the home on foot,” Officer First Class Tracey Duffy said.
She said investigating officers noticed a light from a flashlight coming from the 100 block of Versailles Court and then arrested Isaiah Cooper, who they said matched the victim’s description of the intruder.
