State Police Arrest Woman for Multiple Vehicle Thefts and Shopliftings Throughout New Castle County

The Delaware State Police arrested 46-year-old Christina Cerroni of Newark, Delaware, for multiple vehicle thefts and shopliftings that occurred over the last several months throughout New Castle County.

Between September 27, 2024, and December 29, 2024, troopers investigated several motor vehicle thefts of a similar nature that occurred in Wilmington and Newark. In each theft, a white female suspect stole the vehicle, which was unsecured and unattended, and fled from the scene in the stolen vehicle. Through investigative means, troopers identified the suspect responsible for the vehicle thefts as Christina Cerroni. Troopers further identified Cerroni as the suspect responsible for 4 shopliftings at the Christiana Mall Target that occurred in April and May 2024, and totaled over $1,000 worth of stolen merchandise. Troopers obtained warrants for Cerroni’s arrest for several theft-related offenses and made several attempts to locate her.

On December 30, 2024, at approximately 9:25 p.m., a trooper responded to Delaware Park Casino located at 777 Delaware Park Boulevard, Wilmington, for a report of a disorderly woman refusing to leave the property. Upon arriving, the trooper made contact with the woman, later identified as Cerroni, and took her into custody. Cerroni initially provided a fictitious name to the trooper; however, the trooper was familiar with Cerroni from previous investigations and was aware she was wanted for several theft-related offenses.

Cerroni was taken to Troop 2, where she was charged with the crimes listed below, arraigned by Justice of the Peace Court 11, and committed to Delores J. Baylor Women’s Correctional Institution on a $2,000 cash bond.
