FROM THE MAYOR In this column I would like to address safety issues and things the Town is doing to try to mitigate some of them. I also will address some things our citizens can do to minimize the known risks to their property and well-being. The Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Department announced that a group has been targeting luxury homes in Cherry Hills Village (four), Columbine Valley (one), Littleton (two), and Unincorporated Arapahoe County (two). The group has stolen about $1,000,000 worth of goods from nine homes.
Between Feb. 2 and Oct. 18, 2024, burglars have targeted homes during dinner hours, usually one to two hours after sunset. The burglaries typically happened in homes that back up to open space, greenbelts, canals, trails, or golf courses, or feature heavy tree cover along the property lines. The majority of burglaries occurred when the homeowners were not home. Residents are asked to call 911 to report an in-process crime or use the non-emergency number 303-795-4711 to report suspicious activity. Continued on next page...
