Toledo secondhand dealers and precious metals buyers must register with the police department and report transactions through the LeadsOnline system under ORC Chapter 4728 to deter trafficking in stolen property.
TMC requires secondhand goods dealers, including pawn shops, scrap-metal buyers, and precious-metal traders, to register annually with the Toledo Police Department. Each transaction must capture seller identification, item description, serial numbers, and a photograph, uploaded daily to the LeadsOnline electronic reporting system used by Ohio law enforcement. Items must be held for 15 days before resale or melting to allow recovery of stolen goods. Ohio Revised Code Chapter 4728 governs precious metal dealers separately, requiring a state license through the Department of Commerce. Buyers must record thumbprints for high-value transactions.
Failure to report transactions or hold items is a first-degree misdemeanor; license revocation follows repeat offenses and possible felony charges for receiving stolen property.
