In February, we sent out a plea asking for the public’s help in identifying those responsible for a series of burglaries and vandalism in the area of Fox Hill Court and Morning Run Court in Franktown.
With the help of the Patrol Division, Impact Unit, and Pattern Crimes Unit (PCU), detectives were able to identify three juvenile males, ages 16-17, as the ones responsible for the crimes. It is believed that these juveniles repeatedly broke into homes under construction in this area, causing approximately $387,247.81 in damage.
The suspects also killed several fish used in a greenhouse to fertilize plants. The fish were killed by an unknown substance being added to the water, and some were killed by the suspect/suspects removing them from their tanks and throwing them on the ground.
Detectives have filed the case with the District Attorney’s Office, recommending multiple counts of burglary, criminal mischief, and animal cruelty charges.
Due to the suspects being juveniles, their names will not be released.
