AVON, Colo. — The Avon Police Department is investigating after someone destroyed and stole multiple law enforcement cameras early Saturday morning. The three felony crimes occurred between 3 a.m. and 5 a.m., the department said in a Facebook post.
Police said two speed-enforcement camera poles on Avon Road were destroyed, and one speed camera was stolen. In a separate incident, a light pole was knocked down, and an automated license plate reader camera was stolen near Stonebridge Drive and U.S. 6. Police said the incidents constitute felony criminal mischief and theft and noted that the cameras have played a significant role in reducing speeding and “are valuable public safety tools that help our officers protect the community.
