The Delaware State Police arrested 30-year-old Clayton Wilson of Wilmington, Delaware, and 30-year-old David Taylor of Newark, Delaware, for multiple felony charges stemming from a burglary that occurred at a doctor's office in Wilmington last week.
On January 9, 2025, at approximately 8:54 a.m., troopers responded to Family Practice, located at 701 Foulk Road, Wilmington, for a report of a burglary that occurred overnight. The preliminary investigation revealed that an unknown male suspect forcibly entered the building and removed 2 lock boxes containing an undisclosed amount of money and multiple prescription pads. The suspect then fled in an unknown vehicle with the stolen property.
Through investigative means, Troop 2 Property Crimes Detectives developed Clayton Wilson as the suspect involved in the burglary.
