COPS ARREST TWO IN DOZENS OF BURGLARIES TARGETING HISPANIC BUSINESSES

Detectives arrested two suspects in dozens of burglaries targeting Hispanic businesses across the Denver area and seized guns, stolen vehicles and hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash, the Commerce City Police Department announced Wednesday. The pair are accused of committing at least six high-dollar burglaries in Commerce City and as many as three dozen total across the Denver region. "Thieves began targeting and terrorizing primarily Hispanic businesses back in November, using stolen vehicles to get to the scene of their crimes overnight, then prying or ramming doors to gain entry to our local shops and restaurants," officials said. "They stole safes, broke into ATMs, and in one case even tampered with laundry machines to access the money inside them," officials said. The suspects were arrested Friday.
