Police say man stole chicken wings and Hot Pockets

[April 17, 2009]  NEWARK, Del. (AP) -- Police said a 22-year-old man broke into an apartment to steal $82 worth of chicken wings and Hot Pockets.

Police arrested the man on Wednesday and charged him with breaking into the apartment last month. Detectives said two people were sleeping inside their apartment about 3 a.m. on March 18 when the man broke in.

Police used video surveillance systems at the apartment complex to help identify the suspect.

Police said one of the stolen frozen food items was found at his home and he was arrested.

Police said he tried to enter six other apartments but the doors were locked.
