PENSACOLA, Fla. (WKRG) — According to Pensacola police, a “dancer” at Lookers in Pensacola, allegedly burglarized three storage units back in July, stealing a variety of items totaling $8,805, including several vintage dresses and solid gold R2-D2 memorabilia.
On July 11, Pensacola police officers were dispatched to 195 East Fairfield Drive, Life Storage, in reference to a burglary.
