REHOBOTH BEACH, Del. – A Milford man has been arrested after police say he broke into his former workplace.

At 10:11 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 19, officers from the Rehoboth Beach Police Department responded to a business on the ocean block of Wilmington Avenue for a report of a burglary in progress. Upon arrival on the scene, police contacted a cleaning crew on site. The crew confirmed that a former employee, identified as 38-year-old Donald Fulmore, had unlawfully entered the business.
