6 incidents reported of rocks thrown at vehicles in Jefferson County

DENVER (KDVR) -- An investigation has been launched after multiple cases of moving vehicles being hit by thrown rocks were reported in Jefferson County.

The Jefferson County Sheriff's Office said in a press release Friday that between July 19 and Aug. 4, there was a "series of six incidents in which rocks were thrown at moving vehicles from another vehicle traveling in the opposite direction."

Most of the reported incidents happened in southern unincorporated Jefferson County late in the evening or early in the morning, the sheriff's office said.

All six vehicles were damaged, mostly on the hoods, grills and sides of the vehicles, according to the release.

"In one case, a rock struck the hood of a car, bounced into the windshield, shattering it," the sheriff's office said.

The sheriff's office described the suspect vehicle as a smaller, four-door sedan.

Law enforcement will increase patrols in the areas where the incidents happened, including:

• West Quincy Avenue and West Quincy Place
• West Belleview Avenue and High Toll Trail (where two incidents reported)
• West Peakview Ave...
