The Durham County Sheriff’s Office (DCSO) in North Carolina has arrested Joshua Alonzo Writz, a repeat offender, for a series of storage unit thefts. Writz, 42, was first arrested on February 1, 2024, when a deputy noticed a yellow Penske box truck, similar to the one used in the burglaries.
During a traffic stop, Writz was found with methamphetamine and was detained on a drug charge. He was held at the Durham County Detention Center with a $1000 bond.
Further investigation by the DCSO’s Criminal Investigation Division (CID) linked Writz to the storage unit robberies. This led to an arrest warrant for four counts of breaking and entering.
While in detention, Writz was served the warrant and his bond was raised to $50,000. He is currently in the detention center.
Writz has a history of multiple convictions for breaking and entering and larceny. His arrest is part of the DCSO’s ongoing efforts to address repeat crime in the area.
