On Monday, Oct. 26, Delaware State Police were initially dispatched to a theft of a wallet at the Super G, located at 19312 Lighthouse Plaza Blvd., Rehoboth Beach.
A 67-year old female was shopping at Super G, when a white male later identified as Mr. Joseph Fulmer, stole the victim’s wallet from her purse that was in the shopping cart and fled the store.
The investigating Trooper observed surveillance from the store and was able to capture images of the suspect fleeing in an orange Pontiac Vibe. The fleeing vehicle matched the description of a vehicle stolen from Lewes on Saturday, Oct. 24.
Delaware State Troopers saturated the area in an attempt to locate the suspect vehicle without success. A short time later, the initial trooper was investigating an unrelated complaint when he observed the suspect vehicle turn into the parking lot of Atlantic Liquors. The trooper attempted to contact the driver, who matched the suspect’s description from the theft, but the man abruptly exited the vehicle and fled on foot.
The trooper chased the suspect but was unable to locate him.
The identity of the suspect was determined through review of surveillance and by property that was left inside of the stolen motor vehicle.
Delaware State Police have obtained warrants for Fulmer. Anyone with information pertaining to Fulmer’s whereabouts is urged to contact Troop 7 at 302-644-5020 or Crime Stoppers at 800-TIP-3333.
