HOT: Colo Spr - Local Recent Criminal Activity
By now, we've all heard about the motorcyclist who used his CCW handgun to stave off 3 would-be knife-armed robbers on Marksheffel Rd. last Wednesday (July 17), but I received this alert from one of my unit's Security team members (and an inactive member of this site) today:
Quote:
For your safety and awareness!
A pattern of robbery activity has recently emerged, where a pair of armed suspects has been robbing victims as they utilize the drive thru at business and banking institutions.
Since
July 05, 2013 five cases have been documented and investigated:
07/05/13 at 10:05PM -
Wells Fargo Bank, 9649 Prominent Point, near Brairgate Blvd. and Powers
07/06/13 at 9:30PM -
US Bank, 1415 N. Academy Blvd. (Academy and Palmer Park)
07/09/13 at 2:01AM -
Taco Star, 605 N. Circle Dr.*
07/19/13 at 9:55PM -
ENT Credit Union, 3125 Jetwing Dr.
07/20/13 at 9:34PM -
US Bank, 1415 N. Academy Bd.
The suspects in these cases are armed with handguns and pepper spray;
*there were shots fired during the incident on 07/09/13.
Description: Hispanic males in their late teens, 5'05" to 5'08" tall with thin builds.
The suspects wait until their victims are stopped within the confined area of the drive-thru service area and then approach very aggressively.
Citizens are advised to exercise extreme caution.
Recommendations: Use an ATM inside an open business. Avoid using ATM's during the dark. If you must use one at night, drive around first and check for suspicious persons/cars and make sure someone knows where you are. If you see someone suspicious, leave the area immediately and call the police with a description.

Nice world we live in where you have to do advanced reconnaissance just to get cash for the strip club.
