An Augusta County man is in custody in connection with a string of thefts of guns and money from vehicles that began earlier this month.

Colby Grimm, 20, of Mount Sidney, faces petit larceny, grand larceny and tampering with an auto charges in the case.

According to a news release from the Augusta County Sheriff’s Office, Grimm was given a secured bond and incarcerated at the Middle River Regional Jail.

Per the release, Grimm, after the thefts, disposed of the stolen firearms in the Middle River.

The sheriff’s office and Augusta County Fire and Rescue retrieved several of the stolen firearms from the river near Verona.
