Colorado residents take precautions after Wi-Fi jammers used in Highlands Ranch burglaries
Residents in one Highlands Ranch neighborhood are feeling frustrated and scared following a series of home break-ins that happened last week. Investigators in Douglas County believe the suspects used Wi-Fi jammers to disrupt home security systems and cameras.
“This is just not acceptable to us,” said Steve Pomeroy.
Pomeroy lives just blocks away from where three suspected burglaries took place. He and his wife have already taken proactive measures.
“We’ve had a security system, but we just put a ring on the house just a couple days after,” he said. “We just installed it Sunday night, just a couple days after this had happened here.”
Detectives with the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office believe in these three burglaries the suspects involved were using a Wi-Fi jammer to disable security systems and knew when the homeowners would be gone.
“Bottom line, when you have something that’s wireless, it’s going to be jammable,” said Will Martinez.
Martinez owns BW Tech Security. He’s been helping install security systems for both commercial and residential homes for the last 15 years through his company. Many more people may be switching to purchasing do-it-yourself security systems, like Wi-Fi doorbell cameras, but it is those types of products that put homeowners in a more vulnerable position of having their security disabled.
“If you have no choice but to use wireless, you want to make sure you get something that has jam detection features, so if the device is used, the panel can send a signal out saying it’s being jammed,” said Martinez.
For greater protection, he says it is important residents consider simply getting a professional to install hard-wired cameras, which are less likely to be tampered with.
“From point A to point B, you have a cable that connects the device,” he said.
While police continue to investigate this string of burglaries, homeowners like Pomeroy remain vigilant.
“It’s just more than a little scary, but we’re going to get through it and be safe, and be more watchful in our neighborhood,” said Pomeroy.
Deputies said the thieves appear to be after high-end jewelry and targeting homes along the greenbelt.
The sheriff’s office encouraged anyone with information on these burglaries to contact the Metro Denver Crime Stoppers at 720-917-STOP (7867).
They also asked residents to stay observant of any suspicious activity and report it to their non-emergency line at 303-660-7500, or 911 if it’s urgent.
DENVER (KDVR) — A Colorado teenager who lost her leg in a shark attack isn’t just walking again; she’s sharing the spotlight with one of her favorite hockey players.
Seventeen-year-old Annabelle Carlson took the runway Sunday at the Colorado Avalanche’s annual charity brunch, an event that raises money for community programs supported by Kroenke Sports Charities. The fundraiser, now in its third decade, is considered one of the team’s most impactful events of the year.
Carlson walked arm-in-arm with Avalanche captain Gabriel Landeskog, drawing applause from a crowd of more than 450 attendees.
Standing tall again has been a long journey for the Colorado high school student. Carlson lost her leg after surviving a shark attack during a family trip to Belize in 2024. Since then, she has undergone multiple surgeries and extensive rehabilitation.
“I think being negative about things like this — it takes such a toll on how you view yourself and how you get through things,” Carlson said. “But I’d rather see everything like, not everything you lose is a loss.”
Carlson has now returned to skiing and hopes to pick back up with playing her favorite sport, lacrosse. But it took a lot of guts and resilience to get to where she is now.
“In my eyes, she’s extraordinary,” Landeskog said. “What she’s gone through at that age, it’s not easy to do.”
The charity event highlights children who have overcome serious medical challenges, pairing them with Avalanche players for a runway walk to spotlight their strength. Players also served brunch and helped auction off team gear and game tickets.
“It was really cool to meet him,” Carlson said of Landeskog. “It’s definitely a flex. Not everyone gets to meet the Avalanche. I’m super lucky and super excited to be here.”
Having gone through some injuries of his own, including damage to his knee, which took him out of play for several seasons, Landeskog said Carlson’s attitude is remarkable.
“She’s young, she’s brave,” he said. “I feel like she’s got a better head on her shoulders than I do, so I feel like I can learn a lot from her as well.”
The team said many players stay in touch with the children and their families long after the event ends, adding that the annual brunch is a day the whole team looks forward to each year.
