COLORADO SPRINGS — Overnight, another smash-and-grab in Colorado Springs.
It happened around 1:30 a.m. Wednesday morning at a vape shop at South Academy and Astrozon on the southeast side of the city.
Police say the thieves got away with some vape supplies.
This time they drove away in the vehicle used in the crime, instead of abandoning it. At recent smash-and-grab burglaries, the suspects have left vehicles some of them turning out to be stolen.
This smash-and-grab is just one of several over the past few months across Colorado Springs. The Colorado Springs Police Department says there have been 36 smash-and-grabs across the city that their department has investigated this year.
