SUPERIOR, Colo. — The Boulder County Sheriff’s Office on Tuesday asked for the public’s help identifying burglars, including one in a panda costume, involved in two smash-and-grab thefts at a gas station in Superior.

One burglar carried a distinctive green backpack, and one a black backpack, and another wore flared jeans, according to the sheriff’s office. In the first incident, one burglar wore a distinctive panda costume.
