Dunwoody police are looking for a man who allegedly broke into 20 self-storage units earlier this week.

The man was identified as 23-year-old Jahan McBride, police said in a post on social media. McBride and an unidentified man “forcefully entered” the storage facilities at Public Storage on Dunwoody Park South between 6:30 and 7:45 p.m. Tuesday, according to police. They stole “several items,” though police did not clarify what exactly was taken or how much it is worth.

They left the scene in a white Ford Fusion with a temporary license plate. Police did not say how they identified McBride as a possible suspect.

The units are private spaces people can rent out through the company to store their personal property.

Anyone with information about the incident is asked to contact Det. Jesus Maldonado at 678-382-6914 or jesus.maldonado@dunwoodyga.gov, or submit an anonymous tip online.
