ARVADA, Colo. — Arvada police have arrested two people accused of scamming senior citizens.
The Arvada Police Department tweeted Friday that 36-year-old Amelia Tyler and 48-year-old Joseph Tyler have been taken into custody.
They are suspects in thefts across the Denver metro area that targeted mostly elderly people, police said, including more than 20 thefts in Arvada.
