A Broomfield resident found hot dogs laced with drugs in her backyard, sparking a police investigation.

A series of drug-laced hot dogs found in a Broomfield backyard has sparked an investigation by police, according to a news release. Investigators believe that the incidents in which the laced hot dogs were found at a Broomfield resident’s home, on the 1200 block of West Sixth Avenue, were intended to target the family’s dogs, according to the release.

In the first incident, on Nov. 22, a homeowner found two hot dogs in her backyard, according to the release. A “crystal-like substance” was found inside and later tested positive for methamphetamine, the release said. In the second incident at the same residence, on Dec. 26, the homeowner’s dog and her daughter’s dog began exhibiting strange behavior after ingesting “one or more hot dogs” found in the backyard, the release said. Both dogs underwent veterinary evaluation and tested positive for methamphetamine, according to the release. Another, uneaten hot dog was recovered from the property, according to the release. In the most recent incident, on March 22, one of the family’s dogs became ill after consuming an unknown item found in the front yard, the release said. Testing showed the dog had ingested methamphetamine and MDMA, according to the release. Police have pursued “investigative leads,” including a review of surveillance footage and neighborhood canvasses, but the efforts had not resulted in any viable suspects or arrests, the March 30 release said. A Broomfield police K-9 recently conducted an open-air sniff of the front and rear yards of the property, which yielded negative results, the release said.The Broomfield Police Department asked that anyone who may have helpful information contact Detective Zachary Yee at zyee@broomfield.org or the department’s non-emergency line at 303-438-6400.Denver’s $1 billion road overhaul would cut space for cars, boost public transit and safety.
