Other Recent Burglary Cases in Westminster
This isn't the only overnight break-in Westminster officers have investigated recently, though there's no indication the cases are connected. In a separate incident, KDVR reported that a man broke into an apartment near 120th Avenue and Federal Boulevard just after 1 a.m. on March 11, eventually leaving with electronics and a blanket. That suspect was described as wearing a white hoodie, pants, white shoes and a white trucker hat reading “Boat Accessory” on the front.
In another case, the Westminster Police Department News reported that officers responded to two overnight burglaries in a neighborhood near 96th Place. After reviewing footage and collecting fingerprints from the scenes, investigators got a match to a potential suspect and contacted a 32-year-old man found with items victims had reported stolen. He was taken into custody on suspicion of second-degree burglary, and the recovered property was returned to its owners, according to the department's account.
No arrest or identification has been announced in the Oct. 28 case on W. 115th Avenue, and investigators are continuing to rely on the public for leads.
