Decline in Car Thefts in Adams and Broomfield Counties
The 17th Judicial District has witnessed a significant reduction in car thefts, with the number of reported incidents cut in half since their peak in 2022.
According to District Attorney Brian Mason, car thefts surged to "crisis levels" during the COVID-19 pandemic but have since decreased by almost 50% due to "proactive enforcement, targeted enhanced prosecution" and legislative reforms.
Car theft surged during the COVID-19 pandemic, reaching what Mason called “crisis levels” in 2022.
A key factor in this decline is the passage of Senate Bill 23-097 in 2023, which reclassified motor vehicle thefts as felonies regardless of the car's value.
