WESTMINSTER, Colo -- Three people are in custody following a theft incident.
On March 27, just after 5:30 p.m., WPD officers responded to a theft report from a business near 92nd Ave and Sheridan Blvd on . The caller told police a group of males stole $5,000 worth of merchandise and took off in a vehicle. Officers quickly located the vehicle, but the driver took off, running a red light and causing a crash. Thankfully, injuries were minor.
The suspect vehicle continued, crossed a median, and struck another truck before all suspects bailed on foot. With help from a group of citizens, an Adams County Sheriff's Office deputy and responding officers, three people are now in custody. The stolen merchandise was recovered and returned to store employees.
It's important to note all persons are presumed innocent unless proven in a court of law.
