LaGrange detectives are asking locals to help track down a pair of storage-facility burglars caught on camera during a string of break-ins on Hogansville Road. Investigators say multiple units were hit at 901 Hogansville Road, and they have pushed out surveillance images of the suspects in hopes someone in town recognizes them.
Detectives released three images that show two men, and on Friday identified one of them as Cordarious Latray Joiner, known in the area as "PeeWee." He is wanted on 16 counts of burglary, according to FOX 5 Atlanta. Police have not yet laid out a full timeline of the incidents or put a dollar figure on what was taken, describing the case only as an active and ongoing investigation.
Police push suspect photos to the public
According to LaGrange police, the images came from surveillance cameras at the storage site and were shared through department channels to stir up leads. The photos were posted on the department's Facebook page, LaGrange Police Department, along with a request that anyone who recognizes the men contact investigators. Officials have not said whether any vehicles or specific tools were used to break into the units.
How to send in tips
Anyone who recognizes the suspects or has information about the break-ins is asked to call LaGrange detectives at 706-883-2603 or submit an anonymous tip by texting the keyword "LAGRANGE" to 847411, per FOX 5 Atlanta. The Tip411 platform is the department's standard anonymous tip line, as noted by WSB-TV. Officers are also urging residents nearby to check any home security or doorbell camera footage for angles that might clearly show the men.
Charges and what comes next
Police say Joiner is wanted on 16 burglary counts, and detectives plan to coordinate with prosecutors as the investigation moves forward. No arrests have been announced, and the department is again asking anyone with information to contact its detective unit. Officials say they will release updates once they have confirmed new details.
If your storage unit was hit, police advise documenting any damage with photos, keeping cut locks or other possible evidence, and reporting losses both to law enforcement and your storage facility operator. Anyone worried about stolen belongings is also encouraged to review their rental agreement and any insurance coverage while detectives work through the leads already coming in.
