SUSSEX COUNTY, Del. — Delaware State Police have arrested two adults and a juvenile following an investigation into a string of vehicle thefts across western Sussex County.
Authorities arrested 22-year-old Antwoine Savage of Seaford, 20-year-old Lamir Faison of Bridgeville, and a 16-year-old male from Bridgeville. Savage and the juvenile are accused of stealing or attempting to steal vehicles, while Faison faces firearm and drug-related charges.
Investigators began looking into multiple vehicle thefts reported in Blades, Bridgeville, Laurel, and Seaford earlier this month. Most targeted vehicles were Kia and Hyundai models, taken from residential driveways, some unlocked and others despite being locked. Several stolen vehicles have since been recovered.
Detectives identified Savage and the juvenile with help from the public and obtained arrest warrants. On Jan. 16, members of the Sussex County Governor’s Task Force went to a home on Jones Dogwood Drive in Bridgeville. The juvenile was taken into custody without incident. Savage was later arrested at the residence.
During the search, officers found Faison, who was on probation, inside a shed. A Probation and Parole administrative search uncovered firearms and firearm components, heroin, cocaine residue, drug paraphernalia, and items linked to drug distribution.
The juvenile faces multiple felony and misdemeanor charges, including theft and attempted theft of a motor vehicle, conspiracy, criminal mischief, and criminal trespass, and was released to a parent or guardian.
Savage was charged with felony theft, attempted theft, conspiracy, criminal mischief, and criminal trespass, and released on his own recognizance. Faison faces multiple felony gun and drug offenses and is held at Sussex Correctional Institution on a $146,600 cash bond.
