Sheriff Deputies say Copper Mountain College is not being cooperative as they try to locate a transgendered student who is believed to have stolen some engine parts from an auto class at the college last year. According to investigators, about $1000 in engine parts were found to be missing from a locked storage locker at the college. It’s believed the missing parts were stolen at least 4 months ago by a student worker at the college. The Sheriff’s department has identified a person of interest for the crime, but deputies are unable to locate the person in their system because HE is now a SHE. The Sheriff’s Deputy conducting the investigation says the college is being uncooperative with providing suspect information. Anyone with information about a former male student worker who is now a female is asked to call the Sheriff’s department at 760-366-4175.
