On the Lookout: String of storage units targeted
A pair of thieves waited for the prime time to strike -- and they struck gold. Staged outside the My Storage, off Jackson Creek Parkway in Monument, the two entered an exit gate that hadn't properly closed, and proceeded to saw off the locks of multiple units in the "D" building on February 22nd, at 4:45 a.m.
Finding a trailer parked in the lot, they hooked it up to their older model Chevy Suburban, loaded it with their wares, and took off.
The trailer bears the Colorado license plate 349-PXH.
If you have any information, call Monument Police at 719-481-3253.
