Narrative: 

The Dover Police Department is investigating a burglary that occurred at Enterprise Car Rental on Friday morning.  At approximately 12:58AM, officers responded to the business for an alarm activation.  Upon arrival, officers observed that a front window had been broken.  Surveillance footage showed that two black male suspects broke the window with a hammer and made entry.  Once inside, the suspects appeared to take miscellaneous items/electronics and then attempted to use vehicle key fobs to unlock vehicles in the parking lot, but failed.  The suspects then fled.

Both suspects appear to be 5’7″-6′” in height and average weight.  The first suspect was covering his face with a hood from a dark colored hooded sweatshirt he was wearing.  The sweatshirt had three white stripes on each side with an Adidas logo on the front.

The second suspect was wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt with writing on the front, white and black faded jeans, an orange belt, black shoes, and a green “mask” covering his face.

The investigation is ongoing and anyone with information is asked to contact the Dover Police Department at (302)736-7130. Callers may remain anonymous.  Tips may also be submitted to law enforcement through Delaware Crime Stoppers at 800-TIP-3333 or online at delawarecrimestoppers.com; a cash reward of up to $1,000 is possible for information leading to an arrest.
