Two Arrests In Two Weeks
WEST OCEAN CITY ­ For the
second time in as many weeks, a
Hebron man this week was arrested
on burglary and theft charges after
law enforcement officials were able
to connect him to the theft of jewelry
on two occasions this spring from a
residence in West Ocean City.
On March 28, the Worcester
County Sheriff's Office took a report
of a burglary from a residence on
Harbor Master Blvd. in West Ocean
City. The unidentified suspect had
entered the residence and taken
jewelry from the victim.
On April 4, the same victim con-
tacted the sheriff's office to report
additional jewelry missing. The case
was then forwarded to the Wor-ces-
ter County Bureau of Investigation
(WCBI).
During the investigation, WCBI
detectives were able to identify Nich-
olas Richard Vilkas, 23, of Hebron,
as a person of interest. A check of
local pawn shop records revealed
Vilkas had sold all of the jewelry
reported stolen by the victim, as well
as additional jewelry that the victim
had not realized had been stolen at
the time of the initial reports.
An arrest warrant for Vilkas was
obtained and with the help of the Wi-
comico County Sheriff's Office, he
was located this week at a residence
in Salisbury and was taken into cus-
tody.
He was later interviewed and con-
fessed to committing the burglary
and theft. Vilkas was taken before a
District Court Commissioner and
was later released on a $15,000
bond.
For Vilkas, his arrest this week for
the jewelry burglary was his second
in as many weeks.
He was arrested on theft charges
on June 22 after his truck pulling a
trailer full of allegedly stolen sheet
metal was discovered broken down
on the side of Route 50 just west of
Old Bridge Rd.
Around 1:50 a.m. on June 22, a
Worcester County sheriff's deputy
on patrol observed what appeared
to a disabled pick-up truck and utility
trailer on the shoulder of westbound
Route 50 just west of Old Bridge Rd.
The deputy stopped to offer assis-
tance and observed an individual
later identified as Vilkas, standing
outside and looking perplexed at the
truck-trailer combination.
The deputy observed the trailer
had sheets of formed metal loaded
onto it that extended up and over the
bed of the pick-up truck and onto its
roof.
The truck's rear window had been
shattered apparently by the sheets
of metal that had shifted. The deputy
noted in his report there had been
