CAR BREAK-INS, SHOTS FIRED

From Denver Daily News (where I go first for local news):

The Denver Police Department wants to make the community aware of a series of thefts that have occurred recently from motor vehicles. The suspect(s) in these cases fired gunshots into the vehicle or at the vehicle owner when confronted during the theft. These crimes occurred between March 22-29. In many of the incidences, the car alarm sounded and the victim responded to the alarm and was confronted by an armed suspect when they went out to check on their vehicle. In two of the crimes, the suspect fired gunshots into the interior or exterior of the car. No one was been injured, and police are cautioning citizens to be careful if they suspect a car break-in is occurring to call the police immediately. If you have any information regarding these crimes, contact Crime Stoppers at 720-913-STOP (7867) or call the dispatch center at 720-913-2000.
