Distant menace. The resident of a home in the 7600 block of Halleys Drive, Roxborough Park, called police Feb. 27 to report a death threat via Facebook. The message read, “We have been asked to kill you and your family,” and “This is not a joke or funny.” The sender’s account listed “Africa” as home and had no more information. The victim, who did not know the sender, blocked the account.
Beer break-in. The staff at Little Holly’s Asia Cafe, 2223 W. Wildcat Reserve Parkway, Highlands Ranch, reported Feb. 26 that someone had unzipped the canvas wall on their patio overnight and broke into their storeroom, taking several six-packs of beer. A similar theft happened a few weeks prior.
Window strong. Passersby called police Feb. 18 after seeing the glass door and front window of CD Ray Jewelers, 9579 S. University Blvd, Suite 180, Highlands Ranch, had been shattered with rocks. The windows did not fail because they are safety glass. It appears no one entered the store. The owner said he moves the jewelry into a safe before leaving each night.
Big trouble. Police responded to a drug offense in progress March 5 at the McDonald’s at 9800 S. Yosemite St., Lone Tree and found several juveniles with remnants of marijuana in a vehicle there. Their parents were called to pick them up.
Driver distortion. An officer stopped a vehicle March 5 near the intersection of County Line Road and Park Meadows Center Drive, Lone Tree because its license plate light was out. The driver gave a false name before producing a real license that was under suspension. She was arrested.
