GWINNETT COUNTY, Ga. – Three people have been charged in connection with a series of storage unit burglaries that affected more than 100 units at two separate facilities in Gwinnett County.

According to the Gwinnett County Police Department, the investigation began after more than 60 storage units at a facility located at 2044 Old Norcross Road were broken into on December 4th and 6th.

Detectives identified a U-Haul truck seen in the area on Flock cameras as part of the investigation. Police say the truck was linked to Shusune Arrington, 21, of Union City, who also matched the description of a suspect captured on the facility’s security footage.

On Dec. 10, officers responded to a call about a suspicious person at another storage facility at 4139 Five Forks Trickum Road. Officers found a U-Haul truck at the scene, occupied by Arrington and Teshauna Lovett, 26, of Atlanta. Both were arrested at the scene. Police say a third suspect, Niquay Dexter, 33, of Atlanta, fled on foot before officers arrived.

During the second burglary, 55 storage units were broken into. Detectives charged Arrington and Lovett with seven counts of second-degree burglary and filed the same charges against Dexter, who remains at large.

Investigators say they recovered and returned approximately $20,000 worth of stolen Dewalt tools to their rightful owner. Additional stolen property found in the U-Haul is currently being inventoried.
