MAGNOLIA – Syeed Haines, a 24-year-old from Wyoming, and Tygee Dennis, 31, of Dover, were arrested by Delaware State Police for their alleged roles in connection with two residential burglaries and numerous thefts from vehicles in the Magnolia area, said state police spokesman Cpl. Jason Hatchell.

State police are continuing to search for a third suspect, Dominic Hurley, 19, of Dover, in connection with the burglaries.

The first burglary, which took place last Monday, was at a residence on Rockwood Boulevard in the Satterfield Development that involved the theft of two firearms, Cpl. Hatchell said. Troopers learned that three male suspects entered the garage of the occupied residence and stole a Remington 870 12-guage shotgun and an AR-15 rifle.

The second burglary happened last Tuesday on Viola Drive in Magnolia, where the suspects entered a garage at the residence and removed a wallet from inside. In addition, troopers investigated numerous thefts from vehicles in the Magnolia-area which were determined to be related.

Through various investigative leads and measures detectives were able to identify Mr. Haines, Mr. Dennis and Mr. Hurley as suspects in the incidents.
