Lewes Police Department say a man has been arrested after an abandoned truck was found in Lewes the morning of Sept. 23 with multiple weapons and ammunition inside.

Officials say at about 12:30 a.m., officers were dispatched to the 400 block of E. Savannah Road for a man possibly suffering from mental health issues. They say officers contacted 30-year-old Alexander Gard from Maryland. Gard told officers his truck was stolen earlier while at the Wawa on Route 1 and he was looking for it. Officials say the officers then offered to take him to Delaware State Police Troop 7 to report the truck stolen, but he declined and said he contacted a friend to pick him up.
