The Boulder County Sheriff’s Office announced Friday that they arrested a man suspected of high-end jewelry theft. The man is suspected of stealing $475,000 worth of jewelry from a home in Boulder County.

According to a release a resident of Silverthorne, Bryce Daniel Almus, 31, is being charged with one count of theft, a class 3 felony, and two counts of pawnbroker-prohibited acts, a class 3 felony.

Detectives were informed on Nov. 27 that Michigan State Police had arrested Almus in Berrien County, Michigan, on an outstanding warrant from BCSO. On Dec. 5, Almus was extradited from Michigan and booked into Boulder County Jail. On Dec. 6, Almus bonded out on a $200,000 personal recognizance bond set by the court.

According to the release, BCSO investigated a report of burglary and theft from a home on St. Vrain Road in unincorporated Boulder County. The home was believed to have been burglarized in June of 2023 while the homeowners were out of town. The victim reported that six pieces of jewelry were stolen with a combined value of over $475,000.

The home was on the market at the time so many people were coming to the property, thus complicating the investigation. Investigators were able to determine that Almus had visited the victims’ residence on at least one occasion as a prospective buyer.

Not all the jewelry was recovered and some of the recovered items were incomplete.

Almus is set for a preliminary hearing on Dec. 22 at 9 a.m.
