Nearly $10,000 worth of tires and rims stolen from Colorado Springs car dealership, says police

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KRDO) - A nearly $10,000 theft from a car dealership led Colorado Springs police to the recovery of multiple stolen vehicles and drugs.

Police say the investigation started after reports that someone stole tires and rims from a brand new Ford Bronco at the Phil Long Ford on Briargate.

The victim reportedly found the tires posted for sale on Facebook Marketplace. Detectives say when they contacted and arrested one of the suspects they were found to have fentanyl and methamphetamines.

Police arrested Aleeya Niknami. She is being held on a $2,000 bond.

Officers say they weren't able to locate the stolen tires, they believe someone may have already bought them online, but did find one stolen car from Aurora, another from Colorado Springs, and two stolen trailers out of Fountain.
