Police said there is a possibility more storage units were burglarized. The suspect sold many items at nearly 500 pawn shops in Central Texas. The storage facility employees did not know units were burglarized, therefore tenants have not been contacted, police said.
APD is asking if you have a storage unit at one of the locations listed above to check your unit to see if you have been burglarized.
If you have been a victim at one of these storage units where your lock was picked please contact Detective D Hanson 512-974-4457 or email Dawn.Hanson@austintexas.gov.
