BROOMFIELD, Colo — A man who broke into a Broomfield bank, then barricaded himself inside has been arrested, according to the Broomfield Police Department.
The man was inside the Firstier Bank on Destination Way, which is near Interlocken Loop and Wadsworth Parkway.
Around 6 a.m., Broomfield Police said a SWAT team was on scene negotiating with the man in an attempt to get him out of the bank. He was arrested a little after 8:15 a.m.
Businesses nearby were placed on a lockout, meaning no one could go in or come out. Police had also asked people to avoid the area while negotiations continued.
A UC Health emergency room and Comfort Suites that are nearby were initially on lockout but that was lifted around 7:30 a.m.
