Arapahoe County Sheriff's Office warning public about significant increase in storage unit thefts

ARAPAHOE COUNTY, Colo. — The Arapahoe County Sheriff's Office is warning the public about a significant increase in storage unit thefts.

“We’ve never seen it happen at this level before. The uptick started during Covid and hasn’t stopped. We need to educate the public and take away the opportunity for these types of crimes. It’s the only way it’s going to stop,” said Investigations Sgt. Brett Cohn in a news release. The most common way thieves gain access to storage facilities is through fake IDs, using the stolen documents to rent units online, the sheriff’s office said.The sheriff’s office is looking for a man and a woman seen on surveillance camera burglarizing a storage unit at the Greenbox Self Storage, located at 8115 S. Chester Street, in April and returning the following month to collect the stolen items from their fraudulently obtained unit at the same facility.
