DEWEY BEACH, Del. — A Lewes man was arrested Saturday night after police say he entered a Dewey Beach property without authorization and later returned to the home.
According to the Dewey Beach Police Department, officers responded at about 9:30 p.m. on June 13 to a burglary alarm at a home in the 100 block of West Street.
While officers were on the way, the homeowner contacted the Dewey Beach Communications Center and reported seeing an unknown man on a security camera who was not authorized to be on the property.
Police said officers searched the home and surrounding area and determined no one was inside. However, investigators found signs indicating someone had recently entered the property.
The homeowner later provided officers with security camera images of the suspect. Through their investigation, police identified the man as 64-year-old Frank Calvosa from Lewes.
