Two men have been taken into custody after being accused of burglarizing storage units in two Mississippi counties.
Lowndes County Sheriff Eddie Hawkins, Monroe County Sheriff Kevin Crook and Aberdeen Police Chief Quinell Shumpert announce the arrest of two suspects responsible for several burglaries of storage units in both counties.
Since January the Lowndes County Sheriff’s Office has been investigating several burglaries of storage units in Lowndes County. The storage units had no visible signs of forced entry and it appeared that the locks on the units were undamaged or picked.
Security video obtained from the first series of burglaries shows the suspects using a green Ford F-150, King Ranch pick-up truck during the burglaries.
Detectives took still shots from the video of the truck and put out a BOLO to all patrol deputies. After seeing a photo of the vehicle from the surveillance footage, a patrol deputy recognized the vehicle as one he made a traffic stop on and issued a citation. The citation was written to Christopher Shay Dahl, 35, of Monroe County.
