A warrant has been issued for a Toledo man wanted for allegedly stealing two guns from vehicles parked at a Rossford business.

A Wood County grand jury on June 1 indicted Detrieon Dontay Gilmer, 24, for theft, a fifth-degree felony; and two counts grand theft when the property is a firearm or dangerous ordinance, both third-degree felonies. An ongoing investigation by Rossford police from April 25-May 3 resulted in Gilmer’s arrest.

Gilmer allegedly stole a Springfield XD 9 mm handgun from a vehicle on April 25. Security footage of the parking lot of the Dixie Highway business showed a black Chevy park near the alleged victim’s vehicle. A man exited and entered the business. A few minutes later, he exited and walked directly to the passenger side of the alleged victim’s Chevy Malibu and was in the car for about one minute.

Police ran the plates on the suspect’s vehicle, and it came back to a woman, who the law enforcement database said was an associate of Gilmer.

On April 29, a second theft occurred at the same location. Security video showed a man in a Ford Taurus with no plates park near this alleged victim’s vehicle. Wearing the exact same clothing as the earlier incident, he approached several other vehicles, checking to see if they were unlocked. He allegedly took a Bersa Thunder .380 semi-automatic pistol and $50 in cash from one vehicle.

A third theft at this location was reported May 2. Security footage showed a man with a similar build as the previous suspect but wearing different cloths, exit a Chrysler 200 and attempt to enter cars in the parking lot. He allegedly stole a wallet from one.

On May 3, police conducted surveillance from inside the building. At 8:38 a.m., the same model Ford Taurus with no license plate pulled into the lot. The man was wearing the same outfit as two previous incidents. He entered the building for a brief period of time then got into a blue SUV that was parked near the Taurus. Police stopped the vehicle at it was pulling out of the parking lot.

Gilmer was taken to jail and released after posting a $15,000 bond. A warrant has been issued for his arrest.
