ROSSFORD, OH (Toledo News Now) -
Rossford
Police say they're investigating a possible theft ring after searching two
apartments and finding what they believe to be stolen property and more.
On
Wednesday, Rossford Police and the Wood County Sheriff's Special Response Team
searched a home on Helen Drive. Inside, they found stolen property they believe
is connected to an increase in home invasions, directly related to drugs.
Police
also found about 250 whip-it canisters. They say that's more than they've ever
seen in one place, more than restaurants have in their kitchens.
"It's
highly illegal and highly dangerous to the person who uses it or abuses it,"
said Rossford Police Chief Glenn Goss.
The
cans contain nitrous oxide and are used to pressurize whipped cream cans, but
abusers use them to get high.
"You
inhale this, you're instantly cutting off…the air supply, the oxygen needed to
the brain," Goss said.
Joshua
Curtis, 19, and Samantha Crawford, 22, were charged with drug-related offenses.
Police say Crawford is also connected to a recent home invasion, where
21-year-old William Wesley stole
nearly $100,000 in jewelry from his own grandmother.
