Inside two GTA warehouses police were shocked to discover more than 150 skids of porcelain dolls, Axe body spray, fruit cups and items that almost didn’t make it under the tree this Christmas.

Stuffed into a washroom at a North York warehouse, police also found two missing CCM bicycles donated by Premier Dalton McGuinty’s office for children at a Salvation Army camp.

These were the spoils of an unprecedented $2-million theft of donated toys and “high-end” goods police allege were rerouted and siphoned off from a Salvation Army toy and food distribution centre to be sold for profit.

“We found, actually, beyond our imagination . . . the volume of rerouted skids of donations that were meant to reach the warehouse at 150 Railside Rd. in Toronto,” Det. Robert Strain said Monday.

David Rennie, 51, the distribution centre’s executive director who was fired last week following an internal investigation, turned himself in to police Monday morning. He faces 40 charges, including theft over $5,000, possession of property obtained by crime, criminal breach of trust, conspiracy to commit theft and trafficking in stolen goods.

Rennie was released Monday with a promise to appear Jan. 4.

Police alleged at a news conference Monday that what started as a legitimate partnership with wholesale company Northern Sales Group to house donated items requiring cold storage, eventually turned criminal.

Umaish Ramrattan is listed as the business registrant for Northern Sales Group, headquartered at the North York warehouse on Garyray Dr. near Weston Rd. and Steeles Ave. W.

Police told the Star they are seeking Ramrattan, 61, as a person of interest.

Police raided the location Saturday night. On Monday, the warehouse was locked and its windows covered with cardboard and blinds. A roll-up receiving door at the back showed signs of forced entry.

Joe Moriello, a caretaker who collected rent from tenants at the industrial facility, said Ramrattan began renting the space for his business about three or four years ago.

A Brampton cold storage facility was searched by police on Friday. They filled three tractor-trailers with allegedly stolen goods.

Police also searched two residences, in Toronto and Durham Region, and seized documents they believe will assist in the investigation.

A team of officers has been investigating the thefts — which the Salvation Army alleges occurred over two years — since Nov. 6, said Det.-Sgt. Jim Gotell.

“As an investigator with 23 years of experience, I haven’t seen anything of this magnitude before,” Gotell said.

Salvation Army Maj. John Murray said they are grateful to police for their efforts.

“We’re very, very pleased to know that the public, who donated these goods, their kindness will certainly go to the intended purpose,” Murray said. “We will do everything in our power to ensure that nothing like this ever happens again.”

While police say a “significant” portion of the stolen goods were recovered, there are still missing items — including 21 bicycles. Gotell said they were possibly sold off through flea markets or other means.

But in one bright note, he said police are working with the Crown attorney’s office to return recovered items to the Salvation Army in time for Christmas.
