BALTIMORE, MD – Detectives with the Baltimore Police Department recovered multiple stolen scooters and two firearms following a search and seizure operation in East Baltimore earlier this week.
The Metro Mobile Unit executed the warrant around 11 a.m. on November 19 at a residence in the 3100 block of McElderry Street.
Investigators said the search led to the discovery of ten unregistered motor scooters, including two confirmed stolen from Baltimore County.
Firearms and ammunition recovered
Detectives also seized a rifle, a revolver, and additional ammunition during the operation.
The suspect, identified as 46-year-old Tony Seider, was located inside the residence and taken into custody without incident.
He faces multiple firearm-related charges and counts of possessing stolen property.
Further investigation revealed Seider had an open warrant for first-degree assault at the time of his arrest.
Operation developed from local intelligence

The Metro Mobile Unit then coordinated the operation, which police described as part of ongoing efforts to address illegal weapons possession and property theft across the city.
Authorities said the investigation remains active as detectives continue verifying ownership of the recovered scooters.
