WILMINGTON, DE — A 28-year-old man has been charged with multiple burglary offenses following an investigation by the Wilmington Police Department‘s Criminal Investigations Division.

Detective John O’Connor of the Criminal Investigations Division led the inquiry into these cases. Through his efforts, 28-year-old Lawrence Bracy was identified as a suspect, and warrants were issued for his arrest.
