Two minors arrested in connection to motor vehicle thefts in Colorado Springs

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KOAA) — Two minors have been arrested in connection to motor vehicle thefts, according to the Colorado Springs Police Department (CSPD).

According to CSPD, they executed a search warrant Thursday in the 4100 block of Goldenrod Drive, which is located near the intersection of Austin Bluffs Parkway and North Academy Boulevard.

CSPD says they developed information of a minor, who had previously been arrested for burglary and motor vehicle theft, who was in possession of another stolen vehicle.

While investigating, CSPD also learned the minor and another minor were in possession of a handgun. The two minors, whose names will not be released because of their ages, were arrested for motor vehicle theft.

Additionally, CSPD says they arrested a man, whose name was not released, on an unrelated warrant. Police also say they recovered the handgun and two stolen vehicles.

CSPD says one of the minors is awaiting adjudication for pending cases related to motor vehicle thefts and vape store burglaries last year.

According to CSPD, the minor has been arrested several times, which you can view below:

• arrested on 11/19/24 for multiple charges of motor vehicle theft, released immediately (no detention)
• arrested on 12/10/24 for burglary and motor vehicle theft, released on 12/13/24 on a personal recognizance bond to family members
• arrested on 02/05/25 for burglary and motor vehicle theft, released on 02/07/25 on a personal recognizance bond to family members
• arrested on 04/02/25 for burglary, released on 04/06/25 on a personal recognizance bond to family members

CSPD says a non-profit has been involved in advocating and overseeing the minor's release and supervision following each of the crimes.
