Police: Two Delaware Men Arrested While Trying To Steal Car

WILMINGTON, Del. (AP) — New Castle County police say two men were arrested as they tried to steal a car outside a Wilmington-area apartment complex.

Police say an officer on patrol spotted a man's legs dangling out of a car early Saturday morning at the Woodfield apartment complex. The officer ordered that man and another man to leave the car and noticed that the dashboard underneath the steering column had been ripped open, with electrical wires exposed.

Police say neither of the men had a key for the vehicle. Jonathan Kamara of Wilmington and Dylan Royle of Elsmere, both 20 years old, were arrested and charged with attempted auto theft and conspiracy. Both have been released on bail.
