High-speed chase. Arvada police were involved in a vehicle pursuit Nov. 5 near Ralston Road and Kipling Street. Police observed a blue Mustang traveling at high speed cross the center median.

The Mustang was swerving through traffic at 80-100 mph.
Three-egg omelet. A resident reported a case of criminal mischief Nov. 4 on the 6800 block of West 79th Drive. Three eggs had been thrown at the man’s vehicle, a white Chevy van. Two struck the target. No leads were identified.
