Jefferson County sheriff’s deputies were able to stop the stolen vehicle. While the suspects tried to run again, deputies took the two into custody. One person was taken to a nearby hospital with injuries.
The crime scene was in Arvada police jurisdiction, so the department took over the investigation.
