A lot of people, including Denver police, got a good look at two men accused of following a retail employee home from work and robbing him at gunpoint in his apartment.
The man told police he noticed a Cadillac that seemed to be following him home to unincorporated Jefferson County, after he left work from the store at Southwest Plaza mall Monday night.
A few minutes later, when he was walking his dog in the apartment complex, a masked gunman forced him back to his apartment. He was hog-tied with duct tape as two men in ski masks carried out his belongings.
A short time later, a woman called police after she saw a man in a Cadillac pull a ski mask over his head before using an ATM at Dartmouth Avenue and Sheridan Boulevard in Denver.
She reported that the man then drove to a nearby King Soopers, where he went inside without the mask on. When the man left the store, Denver police pulled him over.
He got out of the car twice and was ordered to return, then raced off. After a short chase, police backed off due to department policy on pursuits and because they had not yet learned of the armed robbery in Jefferson County.
The man is described as a white or Hispanic in his mid 20s, about five feet, 10 inches tall and weighing about 200 pounds. He had brown hair and was wearing a long-sleeved white shirt, blue jeans and white Puma tennis shoes with silver trim.
The second man in the home invasion was wearing baggy blue jeans with yellow-and-red embroidered pockets. He was wearing black-and-white sneakers, possibly Vans.
The Cadillac was stolen. It was a 2009 CTS-V with chrome around the windows. The license plate number is LNGLGS.
Anyone with information can call the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office at 303-271-5612.
