June 17 2024

Auburn, Ala. - On June 15, 2024, Auburn Police arrested Arion Markis Heard, age 22, and Alyssa Kenyetta Borum, age 26, both from Auburn, Alabama, on felony warrants charging each with four counts of unlawful breaking and entering into a vehicle, two counts of theft of property first degree, theft of property second degree and theft of property fourth degree.

The arrests stem from Auburn Police receiving multiple auto burglary reports during a time period between May 26, 2024 and June 13, 2024. Multiple victims reported that their vehicles had been unlawfully entered, and property was stolen. The auto burglaries occurred near the 1900 block of Wire Road, the 1200 block of Jenkins Drive, the 1100 block of Owens Road and the 200 block of Green Street.

Arion Markis Heard and Alyssa Kenyetta Borum were developed as suspects, which led to Auburn Police Department detectives executing a search warrant at a residence associated with the suspects. During the search, stolen property was recovered, and evidence gathered during the investigation resulted in the charges associated with multiple auto burglaries and thefts.

Heard and Borum were transported to the Lee County Jail and were both held on $26,000 bond.
