NEW: A 17-year-old male was arrested in connection to a series of burglaries and sexual contacts in Boulder's University Hill neighborhood over Labor Day weekend.
The Boulder Police Department, along with Boulder County District Attorney Michael Dougherty, announced the arrest during a press conference Friday evening. According to police, the first incident happened on Saturday around 3:45 a.m. along the 1100 block of 11th Street. The suspect walked into an apartment through an unlocked front door. A victim woke up to the suspect"committing a lewd act near her," police said. The suspect fled afterward.
A third incident happened shortly after 6 a.m. on Monday, also along the 1000 block of Pleasant Street. Police said the suspect entered a basement-level apartment through an unlocked window and a victim woke up to the suspect sexually touching her. The suspect went into another bedroom, where a second victim confronted him.
Detectives determined the juvenile, now 17, was likely connected to the Labor Day weekend incidents and placed him under surveillance, according to Boulder Deputy Chief Stephen Redfearn. Thursday evening, he was arrested at his home in east Boulder for violating the terms of his probation. At the same time, detectives executed a search warrant at his home and found evidence linking him to the most recent incidents, Redfearn said.
