Incidents reported by Arvada Police

ATTEMPT TO STEAL BEER THWARTED
A police officer conducting patrol in the Safeway parking lot at 12680 W. 64th Ave. saw someone run out of the store while talking on a cell phone at 12:18 a.m. March 21. The person looked back at the officer's car, then ran even faster and disappeared from the officer's view. The manager at Safeway said she had seen a boy who looked about 16 years old loading five 18-packs of beer into a cart, and when it appeared that he was about to shoplift them, she shouted, "Yeah, can you send a marked patrol car over here, please?" The manager also noted that someone in a red Ford Taurus appeared to be waiting for the boy outside, and the driver sped off sans passenger when the boy ran outside</CW>.

SPEEDING TEENAGER APPREHENDED
An officer observed a car traveling at about 50 mph through the parking lot of King Soopers, 8031 Wadsworth Blvd., at 11:53 p.m. March 22. After a brief pursuit, the officer pulled the car over as it headed west on West 80th Place. Police ordered the teen driver out at gunpoint, then removed four other teens from the car with help from other officers. Two cars arrived at the scene, and the drivers told police they had been following the teens to confront them about separate eggings that had just taken place. In the teen's car, police found a carton of eggs, two pairs of brass knuckles, a box containing plastic baggies, a digital scale and a marijuana pipe. The 17-year-old driver was issued summonses on suspicion of careless driving and eluding police.

COPS GET CALL OF SHOTS FIRED
A dispute outside the 7-Eleven on the 8000 block of Chase Drive ended with a man shooting a gun in the air at 1:33 a.m. March 22. A witness told police gang members had been involved in a verbal argument, leading a passenger in a blue Saturn to fire a gun in the air. Police arrived minutes after the Saturn had departed, and officers discovered three empty bullet casings and one undischarged round in the parking lot. Police reviewed the surveillance tape from the store's camera and described the car's occupants as two Hispanic men and one black man. Police were conducting further investigation at the time of the report.
