Vehicle thefts have risen in Windsor, according to the Windsor police. CTV Windsor's Stefanie Masotti has tips on staying vigilant. With rising vehicle thefts in Windsor, police are sounding the alarm. 'It's happening all across Windsor. Not in one area in particular,' said Const. Andie Suthers. From July 22 to July 28, police responded to 11 vehicle thefts, which is a 57 per cent increase compared to the same week last year. Police are asking the public to be vigilant, since six of the vehicles were left unlocked with the keys still inside. 'This remains one of the most common ways that vehicles are being stolen,' said Suthers. Nine of the 11 thefts have been recovered so far, but police urge people to leave their cars locked, never leave the vehicle running or leave the keys in the vehicle. - With files from CTV's Stefanie Masotti

Congresswoman Lauren Boebert Speaks Out as Son Tyler, 20, Faces Child Abuse Allegations Tied to Incident with Her Grandson
Boebert told PEOPLE in a statement that the incident "stems from a miscommunication" U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert is speaking out as her 20-year-old son Tyler faces a misdemeanor citation for child abuse. According to a report from the Denver, Colo.-based outlet Westword, Tyler, the eldest of the congresswoman's four sons, received a citation for "criminal negligence" tied to an incident involving his son on July 11. A court summons obtained by the outlet states "no death or injury occurred." Tyler — who welcomed the child when he was 17 years old — was issued the criminal citation by the Windsor Police Department (WPD), located about 60 miles outside Denver. Other details about the circumstances of the incident were not immediately available, but Lauren, 38, a Republican politician, told PEOPLE in a statement, "Tyler has been doing a great job getting his life on track as a father and citizen over the past year." "Unfortunately, this event stems from a miscommunication on monitoring my young grandson that recently led to him getting out of our house," she continued. The WPD and the Weld County District Attorney did not immediately respond to reach-outs from PEOPLE on Sunday, July 27. Tyler has faced criminal issues in the past. In February 2024, a then 18-year-old Tyler was arrested on felony charges connected to a string of property thefts and vehicle trespasses. The Rifle Police Department in Colorado said at the time that Tyler was facing "four felony counts of Criminal Possession ID Documents - Multiple Victims, one felony count of Conspiracy to Commit a Felony, and over 15 additional misdemeanor and petty offenses." In a statement given to PEOPLE at the time, Lauren said, "I love my son Tyler, who has been through some very difficult, public challenges for a young man and the subject of attention that he didn't ask for." "It breaks my heart to see my child struggling and, in this situation, especially when he has been provided multiple opportunities to get his life on track," she continued. "I will never give up on him and I will continue to be there for him." Added Lauren: "As an adult and father, Tyler will take responsibility for his actions and should be held accountable for poor decisions just like any other citizen." The Post Independent reported in October that Tyler reached an agreement and entered a guilty plea to one count of attempted identity theft, a class five felony, as part of a plea agreement. The remaining charges were dismissed. Tyler's arrest came weeks after his father, Lauren's ex-husband Jayson Boebert, was arrested following an alleged public altercation involving the former couple. Jayson, 43, was arrested in January on suspicion of misdemeanor assault and criminal mischief, according to Garfield County records viewed by CBS News. He was released from the county jail on the same day of his arrest. The Silt Police Department in northwest Colorado confirmed to PEOPLE at the time that it had launched an investigation after Jayson claimed he was a victim of domestic violence, alleging that his ex-wife "punched" him in the face multiple times at a restaurant. In addition to Tyler, the representative also shares three other sons, Brody, Kaydon and Roman, with Jayson. Want to keep up with the latest crime coverage?

Lauren — who filed for divorce from Jayson last spring, citing irreconcilable differences — previously represented Colorado's 3rd Congressional District from 2021 to January 2025. She ran for Congess in Colorado's 4th Congressional District, a much redder district, in the 2024 election and won. Read the original article on People
