Police Take to TV In Effort to ID Roofing Supply Thieves
An age-old ‘BOLO’ broadcast in Denver to solicit tips from the public
Police in Longmont, Colo., which is about 36 miles north of Denver, took their search for two criminals to the news desk of KDVR-TV this week for a tried-and-true tactic: asking for the public’s help identifying a pair of thieves who allegedly broke into an ABC Supply branch last Sunday morning.
According to Longmont Public Safety, the pair broke into the ABC Supply branch around 6:30 a.m. on September 8. The area is bordered by railroads and, brazenly, only a couple blocks from Longmont’s police headquarters.
Before leaving, the thieves reportedly filled a pickup truck’s bed with roofing materials. According to the police, the pair were driving a red truck. Fox 31 anchors said the truck appears to be either rusted or losing its paint on the roof and tailgate.
In a seemingly strange twist, looking closely at the man pictured in the image, the logo on his ballcap could be mistaken for a Beacon logo. Perhaps he is an equal opportunity thief.
