CLAYMONT, DE — A man from Wilmington, Delaware, was arrested on Wednesday afternoon after being found in possession of a stolen car in Claymont. The Delaware State Police identified the suspect as 35-year-old Reginald Lloyd.
According to the criminal complaint, a state trooper responded to a report of a stolen Nissan Altima in the area of Naamans Road and Ridge Road in Claymont on November 29, 2023, around 3:15 p.m. The officer located the unoccupied white 2017 Nissan with New Jersey registration in a parking lot on the 300 block of Ridge Road.
