A motor vehicle was stolen from the curb outside a home at 980 N Grant St just after midnight on New Year's Eve, leaving the owner to discover the empty spot on a quiet residential block.
Denver Police Department officers responded to the scene around 11:37 PM on December 31, 2020 after the vehicle's owner reported it missing. The theft occurred in the heart of Denver's central corridor, an area where residents live steps from downtown but still face the risks of urban crime.
District 6 investigators are currently reviewing the incident. While the specific make and model of the stolen vehicle were not released in the initial report, the timing suggests the crime happened during the height of New Year's Eve celebrations, a period when distractions are high and patrols are often stretched thin.
Residents in the area are reminded that vehicle theft remains a persistent issue in the city. If you spot suspicious activity or have information regarding this theft, authorities urge you to act immediately.
For non-emergency incidents, contact Denver Police. Dial 911 for emergencies.
