KENT COUNTY, Del. – Police arrested a man and a teenager, both from Philadelphia, following a chase in a stolen car.
Delaware State Police arrested 19-year-old Aveion Edwards-Thomas and a 16-year-old boy on Wednesday night, June 17.
Investigators say around 8:30 pm., troopers saw a Nissan Altima that was reported stolen in Pennsylvania traveling southbound on South Dupont Highway near Walnut Shade Road. Troopers say they tried to conduct a traffic stop, but the car sped away.
During the chase, state police say the car drove through the community of Canterbury Crossing, collided with a DSP Tahoe, and continued to drive recklessly and at a high rate of speed on several area Kent County roads.
Troopers say the car ultimately came to a stop after stop sticks were deployed, and the car struck the wire rope guardrail in the median on Route 1, near Twin Willows Road. Police say the driver, identified as Aveion Edwards-Thomas, and the 16-year-old passenger, were not injured and were taken into custody without incident.
