A 23-year-old Detroit man was ordered to serve 4-½ to 20 years in prison for his role in a stolen-vehicle ring in the region.

Jordan T. Gray received the sentence Wednesday from Macomb County Circuit Judge Anthony Servitto in Mount Clemens after admitting to participating in a criminal enterprise, aka racketeering, from April 2024 to April 2025 in Warren, according to court records.

The sentence was six months under the cap to which Servitto agreed in a deal reached with Gray through his attorney, Randy Rodnick.

Macomb prosecutors indicated they also will seek restitution from Gray, records say.

Gray was one of 11 people arrested as part of the ring that was responsible for the theft of over 400 vehicles worth approximately $8 million in Southeast Michigan by targeting storage lots, car dealerships, parking lots and residences, law enforcement officials said.

The ring was investigated by Troy Police Department Special Investigations Unit, in partnership with Macomb County Auto Theft Squad and the state Focused Organized Retail Crime Enforcement team. In addition, local police departments in individual communities pitched in, officials said.

Investigators said they utilized social media evidence, phone tracking and mapping, and surveillance of Gray to establish his involvement.

A search warrant executed at Gray’s residence produced evidence tying him to the operation, including numerous key fobs, a “significant amount” of cash, and a stolen Glock switch, officials said.

The cases of Gray’s 10 co-defendants have been prosecuted in courts in other counties.
