Police seek suspect in Andersons heist

11/3/2001

Maumee police are looking for Kirk Taberner, 42, who is charged with the aggravated robbery of The Andersons, 530 Illinois Ave., on Oct. 19.

Store employees saw a man take air-gun pellets and walk out of the store about 4 p.m., Sgt. Gayle Lohrbach said.

When the employees confronted the man outside, he pulled out what appeared to be a revolver. “He held it in the air and fled on foot,” the sergeant said. “It may be an air pistol, but it looked like a real gun.” No shots were fired.

The suspect fled in a white Oldsmobile. The suspect was seen in an apartment complex on Oct. 22, but was able to flee.

Police think the suspect is in the Heatherdowns Boulevard-Perrysburg-Holland Road area. Anyone with information about Mr. Taberner is asked to call the Crime Stopper program at 255-1111.
