Storage Unit Lock Picker Arrested

On February 1, 2021 Mesa Police Detectives arrested 33yo Cyndal Despain after linking her to a series of storage unit burglaries at Dollar Self Storage, located at 2732 E. McKellips Rd Mesa, AZ.  

Cyndal and her husband rented a unit at this facility, which gave her public access to the locks of several more units.  Video surveillance showed her picking the lock on several units at the business.  One unit was accessed two times on two different occasions.  Cyndal is seen loading more than $20,000 in guitars, music equipment, and other stolen items into her vehicle.  

A search warrant was served on Cyndal’s storage unit, which allowed Detectives to recover many stolen items from reported and unreported unit burglaries.

Cyndal told Detectives that she has an ability to pick locks and that she chose to burglarize storage units to support her drug habit.  

Cyndal was booked into jail for the following charges:

3 counts Burglary- ARS 13-1506A1, a class 4 Felony.
