A Dover man was taken into custody Saturday for breaking into The Little Grocer, just days after being released on bond for four other burglary charges. Lamar Trower, 41, was caught on surveillance video forcing his way into the East Division Street store early Saturday morning.
Dover police have arrested a 41-year-old man for breaking into a local grocery store, marking his second arrest in less than a week for similar crimes.
Lamar Trower of Dover was taken into custody Saturday afternoon following an early morning break-in at The Little Grocer on East Division Street. The incident occurred around 4:28 a.m. on Saturday, March 28th.
According to Dover Police Department officials, officers arrived at the store located at 902 East Division Street to find the front entrance had been damaged during a forced entry. Security cameras captured the entire incident, showing Trower breaking into the business and searching through the counter area and cash register before leaving empty-handed.
The surveillance footage also showed Trower leaving the scene in a silver Nissan Altima. Police were able to identify him from the video evidence, leading to an arrest warrant. Officers apprehended Trower later that Saturday without any resistance.
Trower now faces charges of third-degree burglary, attempted theft, and criminal mischief. He was released on a $3,750 unsecured bond following his arrest.
This latest arrest comes just five days after Trower was previously charged on March 23rd in connection with four separate burglary cases. He had also been released on an unsecured bond for those earlier charges.
The investigation was conducted by Dover Police Department’s Patrol Division, with Lieutenant Mark Hoffman serving as the public information officer for the case.
