Two Baltimore Women Arrested After Traffic Stop Leads to Theft Discovery

FENWICK ISLAND, Del. – A routine traffic stop on Coastal Highway resulted in the arrest of two Baltimore women on theft-related charges, with additional felony charges expected in Maryland. On March 6, around 3 p.m., a Fenwick Island police officer was monitoring traffic when a Toyota Camry was observed speeding at over 65 mph in a 35 mph zone. The officer stopped the vehicle and identified the driver as 32-year-old Alexis Carrington from Baltimore. A records check revealed Carrington was driving with a suspended Maryland license and that the car was uninsured. The passenger, 19-year-old Cecelia Fenwick, was also from Baltimore. While preparing to impound the vehicle, the officer discovered several plastic trash bags filled with clothing, many of which still had security tags attached. Upon further inspection, it was revealed the items were from major retailers, including Under Armour, Victoria’s Secret, and Nike. Both women were arrested on theft-related charges, and additional felony charges are pending in Maryland.
