A woman accused of breaking into more than a dozen storage lockers in Glendale is behind bars. FOX 10’s Brian Webb has the story.
An empty pickup truck was noticed near the facility at 43rd and Glendale avenues on May 10. Two hours later, it was filled to the brim and was seen driving away.
Police say 15 storage units were burglarized after locks were snapped with a bolt cutter. Clothes and cologne were some of the expensive items investigators say were stolen out of the units.
“We see every storage unit has a lock or some sort of mechanism to prevent people from getting in there, not to mention other security cameras,” Glendale Police officer Moroni Menendez said.
Besides security footage, how was she caught?
The burglary was basically doomed from the start, police say.
The suspect, identified as 37-year-old Vanessa Trujillo, used her own code to enter the facility. Security cameras and detective work did the rest.
