DSP Arrest Two for Burglaries at Harrington Farm


Two people have been arrested in connection with several incidents at a farm in Harrington. Delaware State Police were called to a farm on Woodyard Road south of Harrington for a burglary in November of last year. Police say the suspects entered a barn and chicken house – took copper wiring and stole additional equipment – causing about $80,000 in damage.

On March 14 DSP was again called for a burglary to the same location where various items – including an ATV – were taken. The ATV was spotted by the victim listed for sale on a social media website. Investigation led police to identify 41 year old Ronald Keiser and 42 year old Heather Crane – both of Hartly.

A search warrant was executed on March 20 and both were arrested. A search turned up multiple items belonging to the victim and Crane was also linked to the November burglary.
