NEW CASTLE, DE — Delaware State Police have arrested Antoine Carter, a 41-year-old resident of Middletown, in connection with an alleged carjacking at a Dash-In located on North Dupont Highway. The incident occurred on the afternoon of November 11, 2024.
Authorities reported that at approximately 3:34 p.m., troopers were dispatched to the scene following a carjacking report. The 37-year-old victim was accompanied by a friend into the parking area.
