If I understand correctly, warrants are issued for a place to search and/or items to be seized. I don't think the criteria is actually naming a specific individual.

If it were, police would be prevented from executing warrants where evidence shows that stolen goods are being warehoused until they had an idea of who was doing the stealing, right?

The property typically has an owner. This is the individual to which I was referring, though this is obviously a metaphorical application like you need to do applying the constitution to modern day.
