The Delaware State Police arrested a 17-year-old male, and 19-year-old LeShaun Bradley, both from Wilmington, for multiple felony offenses following a pursuit in a stolen Acura that occurred early Wednesday morning in New Castle.
On January 15, 2025, at approximately 1:35 a.m., troopers responded to New Castle Avenue and Rogers Road, New Castle, for a report of a stolen black Acura MDX traveling in the area. Upon arriving at the intersection, troopers observed the Acura, operated by an unknown black male, stopped at the traffic light on Rogers Road. Troopers conducted a computer inquiry of the vehicle’s Pennsylvania registration and confirmed the vehicle was reported as stolen to the Upper Providence Township Police Department (Pennsylvania). Troopers initiated a traffic stop after the Acura turned onto New Castle Avenue; however, the Acura did not stop and fled toward Interstate 495 at a high rate of speed. During the pursuit, the Acura exited I-495 at Edgemoor and fled into a neighborhood, where the pursuit was quickly discontinued due to the driver’s reckless driving.
Shortly after the pursuit was discontinued, New Castle County Police Department Officers located the Acura, unoccupied and abandoned, on Polk Road near South Stuyvesant Drive in Edgemoor. Troopers and NCCPD Officers searched the area for the suspects, and located the Acura driver and passenger running in the Bedford Drive area. The driver, identified as a 17-year-old male, and the passenger, identified as LeShaun Bradley, were ultimately taken into custody after a brief foot chase.
Both suspects were taken to Troop 2, where they were each charged with multiple crimes.
