If you're hitting the trails Douglas County Sheriff's Office has a warning. They're seeing an increase in people breaking into cars left parked in lots at trailheads, dog parks and other open spaces across the county.
CASTLE ROCK, Colo.- Many people will be hitting the trails on the President's Day holiday, and while they're out, the Douglas County Sheriff's Office has a warning.
The Sheriff's Office said in many cases the victim's credit cards were used within minutes at local stores. "It was the first time leaving [their truck] at a trailhead in the Douglas County area. We took off and were gone for two hours or so," she remembered of a bike ride back in September at the Waterton Canyon Trailhead.
