WESTMINSTER, Colo. — A Subaru Forester that was stolen last month with a 15-year-old dog was recovered in Commerce City Tuesday, but the animal was not inside of the vehicle and is still missing.
The vehicle was first reported stolen on April 16. It was taken from the parking lot of the Tropical Smoothie Café near West 73rd Avenue and Federal Boulevard, according to Westminster Police.
The dog inside is named Solo, and police said her owner got her when she was only five years old. She was not wearing a collar when the vehicle was stolen and does not have a microchip.
There is now a $7,000 reward for information about Solo’s whereabouts. The money for this reward came from Metro Denver Crime Stoppers and private donors.
Westminster Police distributed a photo Wednesday of two people officers would like to speak to about Solo’s disappearance. Anyone who recognizes these two individuals is asked to call 720-913-STOP.
