Two men charged in robberies at Pine Brook Apartments

Two Newark men have been arrested in connection with the February burglaries of several residences in the Pine Brook apartment complex located on Wharton Drive, Newark police said.

Christopher Carroll, 27, and Charles Buckner, 41, were charged with three counts of second-degree burglary, in addition to other charges of theft, conspiracy and filing false police reports, said police spokesman Cpl. Gerald Bryda

At the time of the incidents, Carroll was a resident in the apartment complex, and Buckner was employed there as a maintenance man.

Over a five-day period, the two allegedly used the apartment complex's master key to break into apartments and steal jewelry and other valuables, Bryda said. In an attempt to cover their tracks, the pair allegedly reported false burglaries to the police.

Buckner has since been terminated from his position at the Pine Brook Apartments and Carroll has been removed from his residence, Bryda said.

Newark police are asking anyone with additional information about this case to contact Detective Michael Watson at 302-366-7110 ext.133
