Burglars make off with 50 grand worth of used electronics
Jun 18th
Three unknown suspects burglarized two side-by-side businesses over the weekend, leaving behind damaged walls and windows and making off with an estimated $50,000.00 in electronics. Stolen electronics include dozens of cell phones and wireless accessories, a flat-screen TV, computers, two iPads, cash, video games and video game consoles and accessories.
The burglaries took place on Saturday, June 16, around 1:45 a.m. at LA Nails (2708 28th St.) and Next 2 New Wireless (2710 28th St). A surveillance camera from a nearby business shows three suspects in the Next 2 New Wireless store. Police are looking for any information which could assist in identifying the suspects.
The case number is 12-8033.
Investigators believe the suspects initially entered the LA Nails salon through a rear bathroom window, and then knocked a hole into the wall which adjoins the salon to the Next 2 New Wireless store. The hole was big enough to allow a person to pass through it. It does not appear that any merchandise or money was taken from the LA Nails salon.
The owner of the wireless store estimates damage and theft to total at least $50,000.00.
Police are asking for help from the public, and encourage anyone with information to contact Det. Kristin Weisbach. Her direct number is 303-441-4474.

Boulder police: Laptop burglars are the same guy
May 21st
Boulder police are investigating two residential burglaries, and victims have provided very similar descriptions of the suspect. Composite sketches of the suspect are attached. In both cases, the suspect stole laptops.
The first burglary took place on May 11, in the 900 block of University Ave. around 1:37 a.m. Two male roommates and their male friend were home at the time of the burglary. One of the roommates happened to be at a window, and saw the suspect attempting to enter a bedroom of the residence from the outside. The roommate left the window to alert the others, and they heard glass shatter. When the victim of the computer theft checked his room, the suspect had fled with the victim’s laptop. The case number for this burglary is 12-6294.
The second laptop burglary took place on May 14, in the 1000 block of 12th St. The female resident was moving out around 5:25 p.m., when she noticed what she described as a college-age, white male going up the stairs. She informed him that no one was home, and continued carrying a box to her car. When she returned a few minutes later, she noticed the same male coming out of the building and found that her laptop was missing when she reentered her apartment. The case number for this burglary is 12-6480.
Police believe the same suspect is responsible for both burglaries.
The suspect is described as:
- White male
- “College age”
- Approximately 6’0” tall
- 170 pounds
- Short brown hair
- Seen in 12-6294 wearing a pink, vertically-striped (pinstripe) shirt with long sleeves. Seen in 12-6480 wearing tan cargo-style shorts, sneakers and a white or light-gray shirt with multi-color writing.
