YouthSeen Closes Denver Office Indefinitely After Burglary

The theft deepened existing financial strain, prompting a return to online services.

Overview

  • Security video showed a man removing a safe from YouthSeen’s office at the Clayton Early Learning Center in Denver on Sunday.
  • Police identified the suspect as 58-year-old Stephen Guerra, later found in a stolen Toyota RAV4 with two damaged, empty cash boxes, and he is being held on suspicion of second-degree burglary.
  • The stolen safe held about $10,000, and an arrest affidavit lists a second cash box, an iPad, and vehicle keys and registration among other items taken.
  • YouthSeen has paused in-person services and will continue programming online as it evaluates safety and financial recovery.
  • The organization says it does not plan to reopen the building or seek a new physical site in the near term and is asking for community donations.
