Dover Police have issued warrants for a 54-year-old Felton man accused of attacking a security guard and taking his vehicle during a Friday morning incident at a local shopping plaza.
Authorities are seeking Jermaine Finney in connection with the assault and vehicle theft that occurred around 11:43 a.m. at Dover Mart Shopping Center on South DuPont Highway.
According to Dover Police Master Corporal Ryan Schmid, the incident unfolded when a private security officer responded to reports of shoplifting at one of the businesses in the shopping center. When the security guard arrived and attempted to confront Finney about the alleged theft, Finney became uncooperative.

Investigators have positively identified Finney as the suspect and obtained arrest warrants. However, both Finney and the stolen vehicle remain missing as of this report.
The case has been assigned incident number 50-25-45233, and the investigation continues under the direction of Dover Police detectives.
