(EL PASO COUNTY, Colo.) — A 17-year-old has been arrested on multiple charges after a string of car thefts and break-ins in the Cimarron Hills area.

According to the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office (EPSO), deputies originally responded shortly before 5 a.m. on Saturday, May 24 after multiple 911 calls reported a group of suspects breaking in to cars in the 2300 block of Kein Place in Cimarron Hills. Callers also reported hearing gunshots, and one victim was allegedly threatened by the suspects during the attempted break-ins.

When deputies arrived, they discovered an abandoned stolen car in the neighborhood. Through their investigation, deputies also identified 14 additional car break-ins and confirmed another vehicle had been stolen in the area. Surveillance footage showed that between four and six suspects were involved in the crime spree.

The following day, around 12:12 a.m. on May 25, deputies were alerted by Flock Safety cameras that a stolen car was near the Citadel Mall, and the car was identified as the one stolen from Cimarron Hills the night before.

EPSO said the Colorado State Patrol (CSP) and Colorado Springs Police Department assisted in locating the car at the Taco Star on Circle Drive. The stolen car had to be blocked in by law enforcement vehicles, and the driver and front-seat passenger both ran away on foot, leaving two passengers in the car.

After a short foot chase, CSP troopers captured the driver, who allegedly had a gun on him at the time of his arrest. The 17-year-old driver was booked into the Zebulon Pike Youth Services Center on multiple charges, including motor vehicle theft, vehicular eluding, juvenile in possession of a firearm, and violation of a restraining order.

The two teens left in the car were interviewed and subsequently released.
