Wilmington Man Sought For Main Street Burglary

On February 6, 2023, at about 1000 hours, Newark Police responded to Roots Natural Kitchen, 129 East Main Street, for a report of a burglary.  Staff at the restaurant advised that a male suspect entered the rear of the business through an unlocked door, removed US currency from the office and fled the area.  Employees were working inside the business at the time of the burglary, but the restaurant was not yet open to the public.  No one was injured during the incident.

A review of surveillance video identified the suspect as Lawrence Bracy 4th, 26, of Wilmington.  Detectives were familiar with Bracy as he had just been arrested the day before for burglary.  Bracy was wearing the same clothing at the time of this incident and during his prior arrest.

Detectives obtained an arrest warrant for Bracy for Burglary Third Degree and related offenses.
