Robbers armed with TASERS

Posted on | July 1, 2009 | 2 Comments

In a particularly terrifying report, RTD has the scoop on two robbers decending upon the Museum District last night, one armed with a gun, and the other with a taser. They entered 3411 Monument, and attempted to tie up one person and kick a door down. This all happened in broad daylight at 6:25 pm.

Police tracked down one suspect and the other is at large.

    I saw several cop’s over there last night. Is it me, or do a lot of these “incidents” seem to be happening at the large apartment complex’s WOTB?

    My previous apt was burglarized about a year and a half ago also during the day time. I was living in the 3200s of W Franklin – luckily I was not home (I think the guy broke in during the day to avoid confrontation.)
    The officer assigned to my case said that in that one 30 day period, there had been 15 burglaries in the Museum District – mostly apt buildings as they’re generally less secure than a single family home.

    This instance makes me wonder if they’d scoped out the property beforehand. Using weapons and force is a huge risk to take if you have no guarantee of coming away with something.
