Owner Of Ex-Boulder Fraternity House Offers $10,000 Reward In Vandalism Case

The owners of a former Boulder fraternity house that was vandalized in November are offering a reward of $10,000 for information that leads to the arrest of the six suspects in the case.

According to police, the vandalism occurred in the early morning hours of Nov. 17 at the former Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity house at 1101 University Ave.. Video surveillance captured images of the six suspects throwing rocks and breaking windows while standing outside the building before pushing a table against a wall to enter the building through the second story, police said.

Once inside, the suspects kicked in a wall and set off a fire extinguisher before causing additional damage, according to officials.

The suspects all appear to be white males aged 18 to 25 years old. A white female was seen with the suspects outside the building, but was not seen entering.

The suspects caused about $70,000 in damage, according to Daniel Otis with New York-based Brickstone Partners, which owns the building and is putting up the reward.

The company is hoping to turn the building -- which is currently vacant -- into apartments.

Sigma Alpha Epsilon moved to the former Boulder International Hostel at 1107 12th St.
