Days after vandalism was reported on University of Denver’s campus, suspects are in custody for another reported vandalism.
On Friday night, DU confirmed in a press release two student suspects and a third suspect were accused of vandalism of an academic building on Thursday night. A potential fourth suspect also reportedly ran away before they could be caught and was unknown.
According to the press release, the three suspects are accused of being caught in the act of vandalizing a DU academic building. CBS News Colorado reached out to the university, and it confirmed the suspects are accused of spray painting inside the building.
Denver Police Department confirmed with CBS Colorado its officers responded to DU and arrested the three suspects. It did not have available information about a possible fourth suspect as reported by the university.
On May 19, DU confirmed a previous vandalism was reported on campus, and images shared by the university showed red paint splashed across entry doors to a campus building.
The previous response also involved a call for a shooting that was determined to be a false emergency by investigators. DU said a call was made to campus safety from a blue light phone about someone being shot. That call then triggered campus security and Denver police officers to respond to another location, tying up those resources.
When asked on Saturday, DU said a possible connection of the previous vandalism and false emergency call is part of this new investigation.
Anyone with information can call the Campus Safety non-emergency line at 303-871-2334, or you can leave an anonymous tip at the DU Campus Safety web page.

DENVER (KDVR) — A Colorado cat rescue group is scrambling after its co-founder said two foster kittens were stolen, along with the vehicle they were sitting in, on Monday morning in Denver.
Kris Meding, co-founder of Colorado Feline Foster Rescue, said the foster kittens were sitting inside a “socializing pouch” inside a sport utility vehicle, on Washington Street between 11th and 12th avenues. She said the foster parent had started the vehicle and briefly stepped away.
Within a few moments, the vehicle and kittens were gone.
“Stepped out of the car for a minute to grab something else, came back and the car was gone with her purse, her phone and the kittens in it,” Meding said.
The vehicle is a 2005 Toyota 4Runner, license plate BQAX60. Meding said both felines are chipped and were rescued from Carlsbad, New Mexico.
She said the foster parent has filed a report with the Denver Police Department.
Colorado Feline Foster Rescue has 170 cats in foster homes. Currently, the all-volunteer organization has 90-100 foster families. Last year, the group adopted out 1,200 cats.

Did you know: Almost $1 million in coins pass through the Denver Mint every day

DENVER (KDVR) – From the outside, the Denver Mint may be just another two-story government office across from Civic Center Park. But inside the Cherokee Street building, staff and machinery are busy pressing metal coils into millions of coins per day.
According to the Mint, it’s one of two facilities responsible for making circulating coins in the United States – making it a huge part of the nation’s coin flow.
According to Tom Fesing with the Denver Mint, the facility produces roughly 4.5 million coins every 24 hours. Fesing estimates that about $750,000 to $1 million has gone through the facility each day this year.
That said, the Mint can’t exactly predict how much is going to be produced throughout the year as the number of coins depends on the orders the Mint receives monthly from the central bank, the Federal Reserve System, Fesing said.
Despite the millions of dollars in coins passing through, Fesing said the coin with the lowest value, the penny, has historically had the most production.
Those numbers depend on how many coins are needed for cash transactions in the economy, according to Fesing.
“When someone gets back a cent in change, what happens to them? They usually end up in piggy banks, or in a jar, and they’re not introduced into circulation as fast as, let’s say, a quarter or a dime,” Fesing said.
While the Mint can’t predict the numbers for the end of this year, it has produced almost 1.3 billion coins this year, with almost 800 million being pennies. In 2023, the Mint produced around 5.65 billion coins for the entire year.
