Deputies in Arapahoe and Douglas counties are investigating six robberies in which suspects follow people home and then threaten them with a gun in their driveways.
As many as three suspects wearing ski masks have struck between 5:30 p.m. to 11:30 p.m., according to a news release by Arapahoe County Sheriff Grayson Robinson.
The robbers, believed to be between 15 and 19, demand cash, purses, wallets and car keys, although they have yet to steal a car, according to Robinson’s release.
Four of the robberies happened along the Smoky Hill Road corridor from South Chambers Street to E-470. One happened on East County Line Road and South Clarkson Street. And the only one that occurred in Douglas County happened in the area of South Quebec Street and MacArthur Ranch Road, the news release said.
The last of the six robberies happened Monday at 8:40 p.m.
The suspects have driven different cars. Witnesses described them as a dark sedan, an older 90s dark blue or black 4-door Honda with no rims or dark rims, low profile, and a 2002 or 2003 silver metallic Honda Civic sedan with shiny chrome rims and very dark tinted windows.
On October 30, 2007, a stolen credit card was used for purchases at area convenience stores.
