Several new state laws went into effect Saturday, including measures to prevent car thefts in Colorado
The new laws will make all auto thefts in Colorado felonies, regardless of a vehicle’s value.
“I usually leave for work around 5: 20 a.m.,” said Jones. “I went outside, and my car was not where I had parked it last night. And I couldn't find it anywhere. I walked our entire complex.”Then she thought of other reasons her car would be gone. “Last year, Denver was the single worst metro area in terms of auto theft,” said Commander Jacob Herrera with the Denver Police Department. “Last year, we had 39 cars stolen per day. And that's unacceptable.”
Denver Police also encourages car owners to sign up for the DenverTrack program, which preauthorizes the police to track stolen cars in real-time using a vehicle’s GPS.
