The Jeffco Sheriff’s Office is investigating two burglaries and a theft that occurred at Evergreen salons and a yoga studio last week, said sheriff's spokeswoman Jacki Kelley.

The facility was a catalyst for the recall effort that began last fall and ended with the defeat of four challengers in the April 23 election.
