PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) — One of Puerto Rico’s 10 most wanted fugitives has been arrested and charged in Camden County.

In February, Camden County detectives received information that a suspect in a Toyota minivan had a large amount of cocaine near Penn and North Sixth streets. They determined the minivan was registered to an address in Reading, Pennsylvania.

Detectives from multiple agencies coordinated surveillance of the suspect’s minivan in both Pennsylvania and New Jersey, which led to a vehicle stop in Camden on Feb. 27.

The driver was identified as 50-year-old Domitilo Delgado Ruiz, of Reading. Detectives then learned he was wanted in connection with an attempted murder case in Puerto Rico.

He was taken into custody and is pending extradition to Puerto Rico. Detectives said they recovered more than 12 ounces of suspected cocaine from the minivan.

He is charged with first-degree possession with intent to distribute a controlled dangerous substance and third-degree possession of a controlled dangerous substance.
