APD were on the scene Tuesday afternoon while a gate company was repairing a fence and beefing up the security.  Locks on fifteen storage units were cut and eight of those units were ransacked and burglarized.  At this time it’s not known exactly what items were taken from the storage units, however police are working with the company and the storage renters to figure that out.

Officials also advise that anyone with a storage unit check on it frequently to make sure your property is secured.
