Longmont Police is asking for help identifying potential suspects in a crime related to $35,000 in damage to city equipment. Longmont Public Safety released camera footage of the suspect that was captured by one of the new redlight cameras installed at Mountain View west of Hover. The footage was from March 24 around 10:30 p.m. and showed a suspect walking up to the camera system. The police department is offering a $2,000 reward for information leading to the identification and arrest.
The post also included an earlier video from March 14 around 7 p.m. at the same location on Mountain View west of Hover. In this video, a bicyclist is seen pulling off to the side of the road before the camera shakes slightly and goes black. This incident didn’t result in damage and the police are saying that this may or may not be the same individual.
