On the afternoon of July 6 officers were dispatched to the Public Storage located at 4935 Sunset Blvd. and The Harvest, located at 4865 Sunset Blvd. in Lexington, due to both places having been burglarized, vandalized and multiple items stolen.
While at Public Storage, officers found that the exterior fence to the business had been cut and locks had been removed from several storage units. Numerous items were taken from the storage units to include fine china, carved animal figures, and crystal ware. Two trailers were also stolen and the value of all items taken from Public Storage was over $21,000.

During the course of the investigation, it was found that these incidents occurred between the dates of July 4 and July 6. Detectives were able to find surveillance video which showed multiple people being involved who were also seen driving three vehicles, including one truck that had stolen both trailers from Public Storage.
On July 9, images of the vehicles involved and the stolen trailers were shared on the Lexington Police Department Facebook and Twitter pages and quickly tips were provided to the detectives which identified the suspects who were involved in these incidents.
Detectives of the Lexington Police Department, working together with the Lexington County Sheriff’s Department, continued their investigation and interviewed Frederick Nerini, Andrew Goff, and Cynthia Sallee about their involvement in these cases. Detectives were able to recover all items that had been stolen which were being kept at two residences in Lexington County.

“The use of social media has been a powerful tool for the Lexington Police Department in quickly identifying those who are involved in crimes with the community’s help.” Chief Green said. “This allows detectives to work through cases with unknown subjects quickly and in these incidents in particular, detectives recovered nearly $30,000 of stolen property which was then given back to their owners. We really appreciate our community stepping up over and over again to assist us in keeping the Town of Lexington safe.”
