Been listening for awhile now, and they have been working a good investigation and have a perimeter with multiple officers looking for evidence and they have had multiple parties moving around in the area. Trying to investigate all parties and movement of people. Sounds like they have had a couple people moving through the area on foot at this late hour. And living in a small town a little larger, foot traffic isn't that common this time of year, and this time of night. Unless some of the neighborhood is out looking also.
Also heard that there is a dog unit on scene to track for evidence, and direction of offender or offenders.

Scanning since the 70's to today.
Heard on the way into work yesterday morning (4:30) Greeley and Evans dealing with a sizable number of cars broken into covering a wide area with the usual list of items taken from them.
Could be a traveling crime spree they're dealing with.

This was in the Greeley Tribune last week, and looks as if is continues on.
Johnstown police are looking for a possible serial arsonist after several fires have been set in the Rolling Hills Ranch subdivision on the northwest side of town.
Police are offering a $1,000 reward for any information that leads to an arrest or conviction in the cases.
The vandals have set fires to five vehicles — completely burning each of them — and a trash can inside a home’s garage during the past three weeks.
One blaze was set each day last weekend — Friday, Saturday and Sunday — Johnstown Police Chief Reggie Mayes said.
Nobody has been hurt in the fires, which have been concentrated to a roughly four-block area in the subdivision. Police, assisted by the Colorado Bureau of Investigation, have not found any accelerants used in the blazes.
“We’re doing everything we know how to catch him,” Mayes said Monday morning. He said police have no suspect.
Most of the fires started between 9 and 11 p.m., Mayes said, although Friday’s vehicle fire happened in broad daylight. Most incidents involved the vandals opening an unlocked car and setting the fire inside the vehicle.
The Sunday fire was discovered about 11 p.m. and involved a locked vehicle. The vandal or vandals started the fire under the hood of the vehicle, which was parked in the driveway near the house.
“We spotted the one last night and was able to keep it from spreading to the house,” Mayes said. “It would have spread to the house if we didn’t get it.”
Mayes said the subdivision’s residents are worried. Patrols have been stepped up in the area and “we’re trying everything we can to keep up with it,” Mayes said.
Jacqueline Maslowe, a Rolling Hills resident, said the arson spree was a conversation topic among a group of neighbors who watched the Super Bowl together Sunday.
“Even people who live in other subdivisions were concerned,” she said.
The residents agreed they would start leaving porch lights on at night and keeping their vehicles inside shut garages.
“We watch out for each other,” Maslowe said.
The first vehicle arson took place Jan. 12. The second incident occurred Jan. 15, where a trash can was torched inside a home’s garage.
“We were lucky it was spotted by a neighbor before it spread,” Mayes said.
Of the vehicles set on fire, three were in driveways and the other two were parked on the street.
The total amount of property damage caused by the fires has not yet been determined.

It's a 17 y/o kid they are looking for.
