different units were discovered burglarized between these two locations. Items taken
from the units ranged from furniture, appliances, tools, clothing, and collectables.

Gray PT Cruiser was frequenting the storage facilities throughout the day and night,
and had been observed by staff acting suspicious. Between surveillance cameras and
staff observation detectives were able to identify the owner of the vehicle to be
Brandon York of Benton, Ky.

items and were familiar with the owner of that vehicle. That individual was located

assist two friends move some items out of what was described to be a relative’s
storage unit, adding a key was used to access the unit so they did not question the
request to be illegitimate.

The two main suspects were identified as being Brandon York and Darrell Dawson aka
“TK”. Detectives also positively identified the male cashing the stolen check at
Wal-Mart to be Dawson.

located at 1326 Jefferson Street in Paducah after the investigation revealed it
being the residence that both suspects were frequenting or living at. The search
warrant was executed at approximately 21:16.
