Smash And Grab Spree In Broomfield: Police Seek Video

BROOMFIELD, CO – An unknown man smashed windows and grabbed items from seven Broomfield businesses early Tuesday morning, then stole a car, police said. Residents on a residential Broomfield street were awakened early Tuesday morning and told by police to shelter in place after an ammunition packet was found.

Police said the unknown male, driving a "stolen dark blue Dodge Stratus" smashed the windows of businesses at the following addresses:

• 10th Avenue and Hwy. 287
• 120th Avenue and Main Street
• 300 block of Nickel Street
• 120th Avenue and Sheridan Road

A total of seven businesses were victimized, police said.

The man evidently then attempted to steal several other cars, finally dumping the Dodge Stratus in a cul-del-sac of 11th Court and Kohl Street. He reportedly stole another Dodge Stratus, this time a white one, from a nearby home.

Officers found an ammunition container left on the ground near the blue Stratus. The Adams County Bomb Squad was called in to evaluate it. Police told people in five houses in the 900 block of 11th Court to shelter in place. Some were allowed to leave their homes for work with police escort.

Police tried to stop the stolen white Stratus, but the driver managed to get away, they said. The man was described as a white male with "dirty blonde hair" and the license plate of the stolen car was KVQ840, police said.

Police are asking anyone with surveillance video from the area to call detectives at 303.438.6400.
