(Rehoboth Beach, Del) - A man arrested for theft was also a wanted sex offender. Kevin T. Boyer, 43, of Rehoboth was arrested Wednesday afternoon, August 15, 2018, for a theft in July while employed at a local restaurant and officers discovered that his sex offender registry information had not been properly updated.
He reportedly stole cash from an unattended wallet. Police utilized video to identify Boyer, a fellow employee, as responsible for the theft. Boyer was not present at the time of the investigation; therefore, a warrant was issued for his arrest.

During the investigation, officers learned that Boyer's employment at the Greene Turtle had been terminated and he had obtained employment elsewhere. Boyer, a Tier 2 registered sex offender, failed to update his employment information with the Delaware Sex Offender Central Registry within 3 days per Delaware state law.
Boyer was arrested and charged with 1 count of failure to re-register as a sex offender, a felony, and 1 count of misdemeanor theft under $1500.
