OC woman arrested for peek-a-boo burglary By Josh Kim Staff Writer (Aug. 23, 2019) A Frankford, Delaware resident encountered the shock of lifetime when she found Maureen E. Gray, 42, of Ocean City hiding behind her bathroom door last week during an attempted burglary. On the evening of Aug. 15, Gray reportedly snuck into the Star Lane and Peppers Corner Road home through the unlocked front door. The resident said she became aware of Gray’s presence when she entered the bathroom and found Gray standing be-
hind the bathroom door. When she saw Gray, she claimed to have screamed for her boyfriend, the homeowner, who grabbed his Maureen Gray rifle and confronted the suspect. An altercation reportedly ensued, resulting in minor injuries to Gray, and property damage. The two subdued Gray, and the homeowner held her at gunpoint until Delaware State Police arrived.
Gray was taken to Beebe Medical Center to treat her injuries. This was not Gray’s first trip to the Frankford home. She had apparently burglarized the home on Aug. 9, around 10:44 p.m. At the time, the residents were not at home, but a house sitter was present. According to the Delaware State Police, the sitter heard an alarm sound in a nearby pole building, and when she looked outside she found Gray on the property with a window air-conditioner unit and the window screen on the ground. Gray reportedly left the property after
being confronted by the house sitter. However, it was later discovered that Gray had taken property from the front porch. After Gray was released from the hospital, she was sent to Troop 4, where police charged her with two counts of second-degree burglary, three counts of theft, reckless endangering, two counts of criminal mischief and attempted theft. Police said Gray was arraigned before the Justice of the Peace Court, and she was committed to the Delores J. Baylor Women’s Correctional Institution on a $14,700 cash bond.
