New Castle, DE – Delaware State Police apprehended 33-year-old Michael Martino from New Castle following a burglary incident at a commercial building early Wednesday morning.
On Wednesday at around 6:10 a.m., troopers were dispatched to the AT&T building at 65 Southgate Boulevard due to a repeated alarm.

He followed instructions to descend the catwalk and was arrested without incident.
