WILMINGTON, DE – Delaware State Police arrested 25-year-old Daylast Deshields from Wilmington and obtained a warrant for 34-year-old Brendan Davis from Rehoboth Beach for organized retail crime. The incidents occurred last month at a Target store.
On Thursday, detectives were informed about a theft that took place on September 28 at Target, located at 1050 Brandywine Parkway in Wilmington. The investigation revealed that at approximately 9:00 a.m., an unknown suspect loaded a shopping cart with over $900 worth of clothing and electronics before leaving the store.
The suspect returned shortly after and filled another cart with over $900 worth of merchandise. Soon after, he was confronted by Target’s Asset Protection staff, prompting him to abandon the cart and flee with his accomplice.
Following their investigation, police identified Davis as the primary suspect and Deshields as the accomplice. On Sunday, Deshields was arrested and taken to Troop 1.
Deshields faced charges for organized retail crime and conspiracy, arraigned by Justice of the Peace Court 11, and released on a $1,000 unsecured bond.
Davis currently remains in custody at a correctional facility in West Chester, Pennsylvania, awaiting extradition to Delaware. Upon his return, he will face similar charges.
