Break-in nets petty cash
As much as $200 stolen from auto shop in nighttime burglary

A break-in Wednesday night left one local auto business with a few hundred dollars less in the till.
Penny Burch, manager of Doc’s Auto Clinic on Copper Ridge Drive, walked into the business at about 7 a.m. Thursday and discovered the door open and the cash drawer missing.
Burch said there was $100 to $200 in the drawer. The company doesn’t have a cash register, she said, but kept money in a drawer in the office.
“My desk was in perfect order,” she said. “Everything was perfect, except the door was open when I got here.”
She said it appears the thief or thieves forced open the front door, but they did not break the glass on the door.
Burch reported the theft to the Steamboat Springs Police Department, and officers are investigating, Capt. Joel Rae said.
Arrests
Also Thursday, Rae said two people — a juvenile and a 19-year-old man — were arrested in Denver as part of an ongoing investigation in Steamboat Springs.
The two suspects, whose names were not released because they have not yet been charged in Routt County, were arrested Wednesday.
Rae said the investigation into the two suspects is just starting, but “it’s tied to vehicle break-ins and burglaries in Steamboat Springs dating back almost a year ago to recently."
