Stolen truck from Castle Rock found crashed into business

COLORADO SPRINGS (KXRM) — The Colorado Springs Police Department said a stolen vehicle from Castle Rock was found crashed into the front doors of a Colorado Springs business during the overnight hours of Thursday, Aug. 1.

CSPD said on Thursday, at around 12:30 a.m. a CSPD corporal saw a white Ford F350 that had crashed into the front doors of a business in the 1600 block of South Tejon Street. Other officers responded to the area and set up a block of the truck.
