Cheyenne Police Recover Numerous Stolen Firearms After Teens Went 'Car Hopping' (cowboystatedaily.com) — Cheyenne police say a string of vehicle burglaries around the city led them to recover multiple stolen firearms and a 2025 Ford Bronco, with four juveniles taken into custody and a 16-year-old charged in adult court. Investigators executed five search warrants, traced stolen items using GPS and AirPods, and are still working to account for all missing guns and property.
   

2. Downtown on-street parking striping set to begin in early September (wyomingnews.com) — Downtown Cheyenne drivers should expect temporary no-parking zones as the city begins restriping on-street parking in early September, starting on Warren Avenue and moving west and north–south. Work will roll block by block depending on weather and contractor availability, so residents, workers, and visitors are urged to watch for red "No Parking" signs and plan where to park before crews arrive.
   

3. Cheyenne Fire Rescue to place first ambulance in service next Tuesday (wyomingnews.com) — Cheyenne Fire Rescue will put its first-ever ambulance into service Tuesday at a public washdown and push-in ceremony at Station #3 on Hanson Street.

5. Laramie County teen charged with felony after grabbing a knife during family dispute (capcity.news) — A Laramie County teen living at a Cheyenne-area home has been charged with felony aggravated assault after deputies say she grabbed a kitchen knife during a family dispute and allegedly lunged toward her mother's friend.
