Upon arrival, the officer spoke with the unit owner, who reported that his storage unit had been accessed unlawfully and three personal items were stolen. The owner stated that he was the only individual with authorized access to the unit.
Later that day, the officer reviewed surveillance footage provided by the storage facility. The video showed two suspects arriving in a vehicle, both actively involved in breaking in and stealing.
