A 13-year-old was arrested by Colorado Springs police in an investigation into several motor vehicle thefts that took place over three months.

The investigation was initiated in September, and detectives looked extensively at crimes committed by the juvenile from January to March. Detectives were able to link the minor to multiple motor vehicle thefts, burglary and other crimes.

An arrest warrant was obtained Wednesday for nine counts of motor vehicle theft, second-degree burglary, three counts of vehicular eluding involving stolen cars, felony theft and felony criminal mischief.

The second-degree burglary charge stems from a smash-and-grab where a stolen vehicle was crashed into the front doors of a business and $5,000 in vaping products were stolen. Police estimate $7,000 in damages were caused in the incident.

On Thursday, an arrest was made and the teen was booked into the Pueblo Youth Services Center.
