Suspect in series of car thefts arrested after police chase in Arvada

car chase

One person involved in a crime spree, including car theft and assault, was arrested Saturday morning after a chase with the Arvada Police Department.

Police said the crimes began at 2:50 a.m. when multiple suspects tried to break into a truck in the 7300 block of West 73rd Avenue.

When the truck owner confronted them, the suspects fired a gun. The owner was not hit and is uninjured, police said.

After the shooting, the suspects fled in a previously stolen brown Kia Soul.

Later that morning, at 6:42 a.m., a Hyundai Elantra was stolen from the 7500 block of Pierce Street by suspects driving a brown Kia Soul, police said.

Less than 30 minutes later, the suspects driving the Kia Soul and Hyundai Elantra were caught trying to break into another car in the 8100 block of Kline Street, police said.

When the owner confronted the suspects, they ran the owner over with one of the stolen cars, police said. The owner suffered serious but nonlife-threatening injuries.

A short time later, one of the suspects was spotted by police while driving the Elantra in the 7400 block of West 84th Way.

Police chased the Elantra to Interstate 70 and Sheridan Boulevard where officers used their cruisers as blockers and caused the suspect to crash into them.

After the crash, the suspect ran away but was soon found and arrested.

The investigation into the crime spree is ongoing.

Only one of the suspects is in custody. Police will not be releasing the suspect’s identity pending the investigation.
