Boulder police: Credit card rampage by recent wallet thieves
Apr 4th
Boulder police are looking for three suspects (one male and two females) in connection with the theft of a wallet and credit cards from the Whole Foods store, located at 2905 Pearl St., on January 20, 2013.
The victim was grocery shopping around 3:30 p.m. and said she became distracted when a male bumped into her with his cart. She had placed her open purse in the seat of the cart while she was shopping and believes the male stole her wallet after he ran into her with his cart. She didn’t immediately notice that her wallet had been taken.
Her stolen credit cards were used a short time later at several stores, including Apple, Target, Gymboree, Sunglass Hut and Nordstrom Rack. Photos taken from surveillance video show two women using the cards to purchase a variety of merchandise and gift cards.
One female suspect is described as:

· Average or slim build
· Brown or auburn hair which is pulled back from her face

The other female suspect is described as:
· Between 30 and 35 years old
· Slightly overweight
· Wearing a dark-colored jacket and white scarf
· Straight, dark hair which is pulled back from her face
· Carrying a handbag with short straps
Clerks believe the women were speaking Spanish, and described them as wearing “high end” clothing and carrying Gucci and Louis Vuitton handbags. Photos of the women are attached.
The male suspect from Whole Foods is described as:
· Hispanic male
· Early-to-mid twenties
· 6’02” tall
· Tall and stocky build (not heavyset)

Residents plagued by phony phone surveys about municipalization
Apr 4th
The City of Boulder wishes to inform the public that it is not currently conducting any telephone polling about the potential creation of a local electric utility or possible ballot language related to this effort.
Residents have reported receiving a call from a research firm asking about several topics that the firm suggests will be on the ballot this fall. This call is similar in nature to a survey that was conducted on behalf of Xcel Energy last month.
Currently, the only item the city may place on the ballot related to possible municipalization is about the bonding process. Council will discuss this potential issue over the next few months.

Chucky Jeffery is now an All-American
Apr 3rd
She claims Colorado’s first AP All-America notoriety since Jackie McFarland earned back-to-back honorable mention in 2007 & ’08.
A 5-foot, 10-inch senior guard from Colorado Springs, Colo., Jeffery led Colorado in scoring (13.7 ppg), assists (4.0 apg), rebounds (8.2 rpg) and steals (2.2 spg). She is prominent on the Pac-12 Conference leaderboard ranking fourth in assist-to-turnover ratio (1.3), fifth in steals and assists, sixth in overall rebounding and defensive rebounds (6.3 drpg), ninth in scoring and 13th in free-throw percentage (.706).
It was a banner year for Jeffery, and the Buffaloes, as she has previously been named a Women’s Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) All-Region nominee for the 2013 WBCA Division I Coaches’ All-America Team.
Jeffery was named All-Pac-12 for the second-straight year by both the media and the coaches. She also earned Pac-12 All-Tournament honors and was an honorable mention to the coaches’ All-Defensive team. Jeffery made national headlines in December, leading the Buffaloes to an upset win over then-No. 8 ranked Louisville earning espnW and U.S. Basketball Writers Association Ann Meyers Drysdale National Player of the Week honors.
Colorado finished the 2012-13 season at 25-7 overall and fourth place in the Pac-12 at 13-5. The Buffaloes, who were ranked No. 19 in the final AP Top 25 poll, advanced to the NCAA Tournament for the 13th time in team history and first time since 2004.
