SEDGWICK COUNTY —Law enforcement authorities are investigating a series of burglaries involving storage unit facilities.

Through the investigations of these burglaries, police in Wichita believe multiple suspects are involved, according to officer Charley Davidson.

The suspects will generally break into a storage unit, take items, and then replace the lock, making it appear no burglary had occurred. In some of these situations, a theft has not been noticed for several weeks, which can hinder the investigation.

On Monday, an individual reported multiple burglaries to the storage units by the locks being cut off in the 1700 block of North Rock Road in Wichita, according to officer Charley Davidson.
