WILMINGTON, DE — Delaware State Police have charged two Wilmington residents in connection with an alleged organized retail theft that led to a vehicle pursuit through portions of the city earlier this week.
Authorities identified the suspects as 35-year-old Kerryn Vinson and 33-year-old Taysha Bultran. According to police, the incident began on October 13, 2025, at approximately 6 p.m., when troopers responded to a report of a theft in progress at Dick’s House of Sport, located at 1000 Brandywine Parkway.
Store employees told investigators that three individuals allegedly stole roughly $2,500 worth of merchandise before fleeing in a Chevrolet Malibu with a Delaware temporary registration tag. Troopers later spotted a vehicle matching that description traveling southbound on Concord Pike near Interstate 95. When officers attempted to initiate a traffic stop, the driver allegedly refused to comply and fled into the City of Wilmington, committing several traffic violations in the process.
A short time later, police located the vehicle abandoned near East 28th and Jessup Streets. Troopers observed several suspects running from the car while carrying merchandise believed to have been stolen. Following a brief pursuit on foot, both Vinson and Bultran were apprehended. The driver, described as an unidentified Black male, remains at large.
Vinson and Bultran were transported to Delaware State Police Troop 1, where they were each charged with felony organized retail theft, second-degree conspiracy, and resisting arrest. Both were arraigned in Justice of the Peace Court 2 and released on their own recognizance.
The Delaware State Police Troop 2 Organized Retail Crime Unit continues to investigate the case. Anyone with information about the third suspect or the incident is encouraged to contact Detective J. Klink at 302-365-8435 or Delaware Crime Stoppers at 1-800-847-3333.
All individuals charged with a crime are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
