2 dozen stolen vehicles, trailers, ATVs and more recovered in Elbert County
Officials from the Elbert County Sheriff’s Office (ECSO) say they recovered a large amount of big-item stolen property while performing a search warrant last month.
Officials say they recovered at least two dozen cars, trucks, trailers, ATVs, a Polaris razor, several snowmobiles, a large gun safe and several hundred thousand dollars of suspected stolen tools and equipment.
Most of the items were stolen from across Colorado.
ECSO had been conducting an investigation into a large number of thefts in the area since last fall, and since its start enforcement has seized illegal weapons and drugs, officials said.
Investigators are currently working with other law enforcement agencies to return all of the stolen products, but believe this process could take months.
Authorities have identified a person of interest related to the thefts and other related crimes and are currently searching for them. Information about the suspect is not being released.
ECSO were assisted by the Colorado State Patrol (CSP), Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF) to serve the warrant, officials said.
