SEAFORD HOME RAID LEADS TO MULTIPLE SUSPECTS ARRESTED
Seaford, DE - Delaware State Police have arrested three individuals, Jaylyn Faison, 22; Shantae Cannon, 38; and Tayeanna Hughes, 19, during a search warrant execution at a residence in Seaford, DE. Each of the suspects faces serious drug-related felony charges.
The operation unfolded on March 21, 2024, when coordinated law enforcement teams converged on a property in the 25000 block of Haven Drive. This collaboration included the Sussex County Drug Unit, Sussex County Governor's Task Force, Kent County Governor's Task Force, and the Delaware State Police Special Operations Response Team.
This strategic enforcement was the result of extensive investigative work focused on the illegal trafficking of narcotics from the address in question. The professionals within the task forces acted on the strength of intelligence gathering, community tips, and a dedicated pursuit of justice.
Upon executing the warrant, authorities detained Faison, Cannon, and Hughes on the premises.
