The Delaware State Police arrested 30-year-old Shakiel Carter of Dover, Delaware, and 24-year-old Tramel Wright of Hartly, Delaware, for organized retail crime and related offenses that occurred at multiple Tanger Outlets stores in Rehoboth Beach on Saturday afternoon.

On November 16, 2024, at approximately 4:14 p.m., a trooper responded to The North Face, located at 36706 Bayside Outlet Drive, Rehoboth Beach, for a report of a shoplifting. Upon arriving, the trooper was notified of a separate shoplifting in the store in which a black female suspect was actively concealing merchandise inside her clothing. The trooper further learned the female suspect’s coconspirator, an unknown black male suspect, had walked out of the store as the trooper arrived. The trooper made contact with the female suspect, who provided a fake name and date of birth to the trooper before fleeing from the store. The female suspect entered a Honda minivan, occupied by the male suspect and a child, and fled from the parking lot. Troopers quickly located the minivan in an adjacent parking lot, and discovered the two suspects had fled from the van on foot, leaving the 4-year-old child in the van. With the assistance of multiple witnesses, troopers located the black male suspect, identified as Tramel Wright, in a nearby business, and took him into custody without incident. A search of Wright’s person led to the discovery of 7 blue wax fold bags containing approximately 0.21 grams of suspected heroin.
