the call to come out and check out both of these smash and grabs. there was a suspect who got away but left tracks in the snow, and police followed him back to his apartment to make the arrest. they say those tracks matched what they saw in the snow at another smash and grab earlier in the morning, so they believe he's responsible for three just today. the owners of the asian restaurant say they have been hit before and the owner of the repair store says he's been hit as well. in this case there was no cash inside the restaurant but there were some electronics that the suspect got away with. police did arrest him at the apartment but haven't been able to go inside. they are working on a warrant to go in. three altogether potentially for this man, and police say it could be possible he's responsible for others that we have reported on. they will be looking into that for sure.

>> shawn, he lives in the area where we have had the other smash and grabs? >> reporter: that's right. we were told from police they were checking an address that may be the apartment he was at, which would be an interesting connection if he lived on the street where so many of these have been happening. that's something we'll wait to back to you. a denver man with a processions. thieves stole about $30,000 and collectibles. >> reporter: monday morning, warren's apartment, opened the garage door and pulled a car inside. some things were left behind but his laptop, ipod, xbox and statues were taken. worst of all, his ten boxes
