DENVER (KDVR) — Law enforcement is looking for the person who took a computer and bag from inside a vehicle parked in front of Cougar Run Elementary on Tuesday while a 9-year-old was still inside the car.
The incident was reported by the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office, which said the incident occurred shortly before 7 a.m. outside the Highlands Ranch school. The agency said the suspect entered the parked vehicle, took the computer and bag, then got into the passenger seat of a black SUV and drove away.
Deputies, using school surveillance video, found the vehicle was probably a Toyota RAV4 with a sunroof. The driver appeared to be a white, heavy-set female wearing a white shirt and appeared to have a tattoo on her right forearm. The passenger was described as a white male with dark hair and a dark shirt and was wearing a mask over his nose and mouth during the theft.
The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office shared this image of a suspect who allegedly took a computer and bag from a car outside an elementary school that had a 9 year old inside. The suspect is accused of using a credit card from the theft at a King Soopers shortly afterward.
