JEFFERSON COUNTY, Colorado — A 39-year-old man suspected of burglarizing a gas station and a bank after ramming a car into both buildings early Thursday has been taken into custody, according to Jefferson County Sheriff's Office (JCSO) spokeswoman Jenny Fulton.
The burglaries happened just before 3:30 a.m. in the area of Kipling Parkway and Coal Mine Avenue in Littleton.
Fulton said the driver, later identified as Andrew Jones, is accused of crashing a minivan into a Sinclair gas station and then into a nearby Chase Bank before he was taken into custody.
Moments before he was arrested, deputies spotted him while he was carrying stolen items from the gas station back to the crashed minivan at Chase bank, JCSO said.
Photos from the scene show damage, including broken glass and debris, to both the bank and gas station. Investigators and a crime lab unit are still at the scene.
