Why is this code throwing an exception when using dynamic memory allocation?

The below program creates a new array of structs of [n+5] elements, every time the quantity reaches 5, 10, 15, ... and copies the old elements to a new array.

This is the error thrown:

Exception thrown at 0x7AE740DF (vcruntime140d.dll) in ConsoleApplication4.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation writing location 0x6CBFEBB8.

The error is thrown on line 69, where it says items += 1;
