Gahanna in the News 

City Leaders to Propose Legislation to 
Regulate Secondhand Shops

Original story by Marla K. Kulman, ThisWeek Community News

Gahanna police are seeking City Council's help in curbing the resale of stolen goods via secondhand dealers.

 

This Week news logo Lt. Jeffrey Spence told council committee members Feb. 24 a new code would provide the legal framework to permit and more easily facilitate criminal investigations into the trafficking of stolen property through secondhand dealers within the city. The legislation would complement existing language regarding pawnbrokers.

 

"The first assumption is the retailer is acting responsibly," Spence said. "What we're trying to do with the legislation is bring into compliance those trying to skirt the law. There are some legitimate businesses out there that engage in this with good report, and there are those who do not."

 

Under existing code, secondhand dealers of property and merchandise are not sufficiently regulated, nor are such dealers obligated to comply with certain provisions contained in code regarding pawnbrokers, Spence said.

 

By adopting the proposed legislation, he said, police would have the ability to inspect records maintained by such dealers and impose certain record-keeping requirements to identify sellers of merchandise.
