WESTMINSTER, Colo -- Not a good day to be speeding and/or rocking those expired plates in Westminster. WPD officers handed out tickets, made some arrests (warrants included—yikes) and hopefully educated some drivers! This was all part of a targeted traffic enforcement operation with the Adams County Sheriff's Office, Thornton Police Department and Colorado State Patrol.



Officers conducted a traffic stop and took one person into custody with two outstanding warrants.
