COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. -- Colorado Springs Police officers have arrested one man and are looking for another who allegedly stole items from cars, including prescription drugs.

Officers said someone saw 18-year-old Cody Ruff and another person dressed in dark hoodies, wearing gloves, backpacks and shining a flashlight into neighbor's cars in the 6400 block of Lange Drive.

When officers arrived, they found Ruff nearby and questioned him. They said he gave a fake story which they quickly determined not to be true, and they found belongings from some of the cars on him, including the prescription drugs.
