SEAFORD, Del. – Delaware State Police arrested two early Wednesday morning after a property check led to the discovery of criminal activity.

At around 2:45 a.m., a trooper conducting routine patrol in the area of Old Furnace Road and Route 13 observed two vehicles in the rear of the Service Today business. The trooper drove behind the business and found a male subject, later identified as 25-year-old George Reha of Seaford, standing outside in a blue pickup truck, and a female sitting in the driver seat of a Lincoln sedan.

Police say Reha immediately began acting suspiciously when she saw the trooper, leading the trooper to detain him and conduct a pat-down for weapons. On his person, the trooper found approximately .021 grams of heroin, approximately 8.80 grams of cocaine, $5,161 in suspected drug money, and drug paraphernalia.

The trooper then made contact with the 38-year-old Greenwood woman in the Lincoln sedan and detected a strong odor of alcohol. A search of her vehicle led to the discovery of approximately 1.07 grams of cocaine, drug paraphernalia, and approximately $1,262 in suspected drug money.

Reha was charged with felony possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance, felony tampering with physical evidence, possession of a controlled substance, and possession of drug paraphernalia. He was later released on a $4,500 unsecured bond.

The 38-year-old female was charged with possession of a controlled substance, possession of drug paraphernalia, and DUI. She was released on a $1,500 unsecured bond.
