The incident began with reports of multiple break-ins within the neighborhood, prompting a swift response from the Cherry Hills Village Police Department.
Around 4:37 p.m., after receiving a wave of concerned calls, officers instructed residents to lock their doors and remain vigilant, reporting any suspicious activity. The precautionary shelter-in-place order was lifted just over an hour later, but officers remained in the area, determined to apprehend the culprit.
Male suspect: White male, blue/dark jacket with black hoodie, black gloves, dark baseball hat, black facial covering, light-colored blue jeans and brown shoes.
