Two car thefts in Candelas

Around noon on April 9, APD officers responded to a reported motor vehicle theft in the Candelas area when one officer noticed that a vehicle on the side of the road matched the description of a suspect car believed to be involved in an unrelated robbery nearby.

Officers located a juvenile male suspect in the car and determined that the vehicle was stolen. He was arrested for motor vehicle theft.

At the same time, other officers located the car described in the first call in a nearby shopping center. One juvenile male and one adult male were found in that car and arrested for motor vehicle theft and vehicle trespass.

Bomb threat on pedestrian trail

At around 6 p.m. on April 14, officers were conducting a welfare check on the pedestrian trail that runs under the Wadsworth Boulevard overpass near where Ralston Creek runs under the thoroughfare. A suspicious object was found at the site, which prompted Arvada Police to call the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Department Explosive Ordinance Disposal Team.

Once EOD arrived, they cleared the suspicious device and found no evidence of explosives.
