The Delaware State Police have identified 47-year-old Shawn Jason of Atlantic City, New Jersey, as the suspect involved in an attempted armed robbery at a CVS in Claymont last month.

On March 8, 2024, at approximately 7:00 p.m., troopers responded to a report of an attempted armed robbery at the CVS, located at 702 Naamans Road in Claymont.

On April 24, 2024, Jason was located and arrested in Pennsylvania, where he is now incarcerated. Upon extradition to Delaware, Jason will be charged with the crimes listed below.
