  • Albuquerque Local Pulse: High-Speed Chase, Roadrunner Food Bank Event, and ABQ Crazy Liquidation Expansion

    Albuquerque Local Pulse: High-Speed Chase, Roadrunner Food Bank Event, and ABQ Crazy Liquidation Expansion
    Jan 28 2025
    Good morning, this is Albuquerque Local Pulse for January 28, 2025.

    We're starting off with breaking news from the Albuquerque Police Department. Earlier today, around 10:30 AM, APD officers were involved in a high-speed chase with a stolen car in the Northeast area command. The vehicle was eventually stopped near the 340 block of Charleston St NE, and a couple of juvenile-aged individuals jumped out and fled. After a foot chase, one juvenile was taken into custody and found to have a firearm with an extended magazine on his person. La Mesa Elementary was briefly put on lockdown as APD searched for the other individuals involved, but unfortunately, they were not found[1].

    Moving on to the weather, it's a partly cloudy day in Albuquerque with a high of 45 degrees and a low of 23 degrees tonight. We're expecting clear skies and sunny weather, with a 20% chance of precipitation. If you're planning on stepping out, make sure to bundle up[4].

    In business news, ABQ Crazy Liquidation is expanding into central Albuquerque with a new 13,500-square-foot location in the Daskalos Center at 5339 Menaul Blvd NE. The retailer, which buys overstock and returns products from over 30 retailers and sells them at decreasing prices, is expected to create around 15 to 20 new jobs. The store will be open every day except Tuesday, from 9 AM to 7 PM[5].

    Looking ahead to community events, this Saturday, Roadrunner Food Bank will host its annual Super Bowl event, featuring dozens of local restaurants and bakeries competing for top honors in the best soup and dessert categories. The event will help raise funds and awareness about hunger issues in New Mexico. So, mark your calendars and head over to the Roadrunner Food Bank warehouse to taste some delicious offerings and support a great cause[3].

    In sports, while the Chiefs are gearing up for the Super Bowl, our local chefs are getting ready for their own culinary showdown. We'll keep you updated on any local sports achievements and results.

    On a lighter note, we want to highlight the efforts of local organizations like Roadrunner Food Bank, which work tirelessly to address hunger issues in our community. It's heartening to see such dedication and commitment to making a difference.

    Finally, in our crime report, we want to remind everyone to stay vigilant and report any suspicious activity to the authorities. The incident earlier today is a reminder of the importance of public safety and the need for community cooperation.

The unemployment rate in Albuquerque, while not recently updated, was at 5.10% in January 2022, according to the United States Federal Reserve[5].
