The short answer is yes. your storage unit can be searched by the police. Now, when can this happen? When you have a storage unit in your name and you are part of an ongoing investigation, it is considered part of your property. And as such, the police can search your belongings, including your storage unit, provided that they get a search warrant. Of course, nobody can just come and rummage through your things unauthorized. So if they get a search warrant, which means they have a reason to believe that you might be hiding anything that has to do with an investigation, then they can come in, break the lock, and come into your storage unit and search whatever they want.
