WARSAW — A Warsaw man was recently arrested for allegedly burglarizing storage units and stealing items.
Ryan Victor Head, 34, 920 Anchorage Road Lot 107, Warsaw, is charged with two counts of burglary, both level 5 felonies; two counts of theft and two counts of theft with a prior conviction sentence enhancement, all level 6 felonies; and two counts of theft, both class A misdemeanors.
On Feb. 16, a Warsaw Police officer responded to a theft at U Store It Mini Warehouse. An employee said sometime between Feb. 13 and 16, nine storage units were broken into.
The employee said two vacant units that had locks placed on them by U Store It now had new locks on them. Officers received consent to cut the locks and found household items inside the units.
According to court documents, one storage unit renter said items with a total value of over $750 were stolen from her unit. All of the items stolen from her unit were found in one of the vacant units. A second renter said items with a total value of $2,460 were stolen from their unit.
It was later discovered that Head pawned similar items during the time period when items were stolen from the storage units.
Officers later received notification that Head was at the storage units with some of the stolen items. An employee gave officers a tote she received from Head containing items stolen from one of the storage units.
Head told officers he saw someone drop the tote and he picked it up to return it. When asked about a speaker system and hydroponic growing system he pawned, Head said he purchased the items from someone. He admitted that he knew the items were stolen but purchased them anyway.
Head has prior convictions for theft and fraud in Kosciusko County. He also has two pending theft cases.
Head was booked in the Kosciusko County Jail on April 13, with a $10,750 surety and cash bond.
