DENVER — Police are looking for a person who is accused of carjacking someone in Denver after running from police in a different stolen vehicle.
It started at a Circle K near East 58th Avenue and Interstate 25 around 11:50 a.m. The Adams County Sheriff's Office said deputies noticed a stolen silver Kia Rio at the gas station and attempted to pull over the driver of that vehicle. The driver then took off, and deputies chased him until they lost sight of the Kia near 38th Street and Brighton Boulevard.
The suspect then crashed the Kia in the area of 38th and Walnut streets, north of downtown Denver, according to Denver Police.
Witnesses who saw the crash said they saw the suspect get out of the Kia and run. They chased the suspect for a few blocks before they said the suspect was able to carjack a black Jeep Patriot.
The sheriff's office said the suspect was last seen in that Jeep and has not been found.
There were minor injuries related the crash and carjacking, but police did not have any other details.
If anyone has any information, Adams County said to call 303–288-1535. They said that if you see the suspect, do not approach but call 911.
