Usually taken during the thefts were money, loose change, and electronic devices of all types and tools.<\/p>\n<p>As the thefts continued to occur, a pattern began to develop and police began to investigate Shaun R. Duckett of Delphos as a suspect in the thefts. Police were then able to secure a search warrant for Duckett\u2019s apartment in a Lincoln Highway apartment complex commonly known as \u201cThe Old Lincoln Inn\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>At approximately 10:55 a.m. Tuesday, Delphos police officers executed the search warrant. Duckett was found inside the apartment and was detained while the search occurred.<\/p>\n<p>The search yielded several items of stolen property taken from Delphos theft victims, as well as stolen property from thefts committed in rural Van Wert County.<\/p>\n<p>Delphos detectives are working with Van Wert County Sheriff\u2019s Department detectives to \u201ccompare notes\u201d and resolve some of the thefts that occurred in this county.<\/p>\n<p>Delphos Police Chief Kyle Fittro noted that the investigation is ongoing and more information is being obtained. Preliminary reports indicate that, over the course of this \u201ctheft spree\u201d, 13 different victims had items stolen from 11 individual vehicles. This number could increase, however, as more information is obtained.<\/p>\n<p>Following the search at his residence, Duckett, 21, was transported to the Van Wert County Correctional Facility and booked on a number of theft related charges. Police expect additional charges, some of them felonies, to be filed as the case progresses.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Delphos PD information DELPHOS &#8212; A Delphos man has been charged in connection with a series of thefts from vehicles.
