Thursday 12:30 p.m.: A man is in custody following a multiday manhunt in the area of Bill’s Ranch near Frisco.

Law enforcement officers responded around 3:30 p.m. Wednesday, April 30, to a report of a masked person acting suspiciously in the Moonstone Road area east of Breckenridge, according to a Summit County Sheriff’s Office news release. Officials say the suspect was seen diving a car without a plate while leaving a home that was believed to be unoccupied.

A deputy initiated a traffic stop on the vehicle on Colorado Highway 9 near Coyne Valley Road, but the driver refused to stop and continued northbound, according to the release. Deputies did not pursue it.

The vehicle was then reportedly located abandoned and still running in the area of Bill’s Ranch near Frisco. Officers say the driver was suspected of fleeing into a nearby neighborhood. Officers confirmed the vehicle was stolen from an area on the Front Range.

Frisco Elementary School was secured by a Sheriff’s Office resource officer while law enforcement personnel from Colorado State Patrol and Frisco, Silverthorne, Dillon, Breckenridge and Blue River police departments searched the area. Sheriff’s Office Lt. Mike Schilling said the search extended into the night.

Officers responded on the morning of Thursday, May 1, to a reported vehicle trespass in the town of Frisco.

“The suspect, again wearing a mask, matched the description from the previous day’s incident,” a Sheriff’s Office news release states. “The suspect attempted to flee on foot but was caught and arrested by Frisco Police officers.”

Summit County Sheriff Jaime FitzSimons highlighted in a statement that the incident started and ended thanks to community members who “spoke up when something didn’t look right, thanking the law enforcement agencies for collaborating and bringing the incident to a safe conclusion.

The suspect is in custody at the Summit County Jail.

“There is no elevated risk to public safety related to this incident,” the release states.

No booking photo was released since the case remains open.
