Courtland man charged with storage unit burglary

On Aug. 9, the Oxford Police Department responded to a business on the 600 block of McLarty

Officers discovered broken locks and personal items stolen from several reporting parties.
After reviewing security camera footage, two individuals were seen in masks using a lock cutter
to get into multiple storage units.
OPD investigators identified one suspect as Teddy Dean Austin Jr., 43, of Courtland.
Austin was arrested later that day and charged with eight counts of commercial burglary. His
bond will be set by a Municipal Court judge.
