DAGSBORO, Del. — Delaware State Police have arrested Cody Hudson, 40, and Tara Higgins, 45, both of Dagsboro, following an investigation into multiple thefts involving stolen skid steers in Delaware and Maryland.
Between May and July 2024, the Troop 4 Criminal Investigations Unit looked into several thefts in the Frankford area, where suspects targeted commercial properties and stole skid steers. On September 3, detectives learned that the Worcester County Sheriff’s Office in Maryland was investigating similar thefts in Berlin.
Working with Worcester County deputies, Troop 4 detectives identified Hudson and Higgins as suspects in both the Delaware and Maryland thefts. On September 4, a search warrant was executed at a property on the 31000 block of Swamp Road in Dagsboro, where police recovered one of the stolen skid steers along with additional stolen property from Maryland. Hudson and Higgins were arrested without incident.
Both suspects were transported to Troop 4 and charged with multiple felonies. Additional charges from the Worcester County Sheriff’s Office are pending.
