A surge of burglaries and vandalism to commercial businesses in Evergreen, Aspen Park and Conifer are prompting the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office to warn the public.
Stagecoach Sports Grill in Evergreen was burglarized and vandalized late Tuesday night, said Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office spokesman Mark Techmeyer.
He said someone shattered the establishment’s glass door and did extensive damage to televisions, arcade games, furniture and even squirted ketchup on the pool tables.
“The damage to the property is felony level,” Techmeyer said.
In a Facebook post, the restaurant said that they would be “closed for a bit” due to vandalism.
Police do not yet have suspect information for this crime, Techmeyer said.
Over the weekend, Techmeyer said, four businesses were burglarized in Aspen Park: Designing Spirits, Luna’s Mandala, Look What I Found Boutique and Aspen Roots Hair Studio. He said the businesses were physically connected and it appears that a suspect was able to lift up ceiling tiles to enter the next business and steal “various items.”
“In the past month, we’ve also had several commercial burglaries and vandalism in Evergreen,” Techmeyer said. “We think these may be related, but we don’t know yet.”
Techmeyer warned businesses in affected areas to be aware of these incidents.
“We have someone or more than one suspect doing this,” he said. “Set your alarms and be aware.”
Investigators are working on the cases, he said.
If any witnesses have information on these incidents, Techmeyer said to call 303-271-5612.
