Aurora Neighborhood Updates: Motor Vehicle Thefts, Shootings, and Property Crimes Addressed by Police

Aurora police used real-time surveillance, drones, and license plate readers to apprehend four teenagers suspected of alleged motor vehicle theft on Saturday afternoon near Alameda Avenue and Potomac Street. The stolen vehicle was tracked as it traveled northbound on Sable Boulevard, ultimately stopping in the 700 block of Billings Street where all five occupants fled on foot. With K9 assistance, four suspects—one 15 and three 16 years old—were detained at the scene and three handguns were recovered, two reportedly jettisoned during the pursuit. The juveniles face allegations ranging from possession of a weapon to motor vehicle theft, and the case remains active with charges filed. Police have not released suspect descriptions since all those sought have been apprehended, and APD is not requesting further public assistance at this time.Earlier in the week, officers responded to a reported shooting in the North Aurora area where a man sustained non-life-threatening injuries during an alleged dispute. The investigation continues, and authorities have indicated the incident is believed to be isolated with no threat to the wider community. No arrests have been announced and no suspect description provided pending further inquiry.On Wednesday, multiple calls regarding vehicle break-ins in the vicinity of East Colfax Avenue and Chambers Road led officers to recover evidence of forced entry and stolen property from several cars. The incidents occurred overnight, are under investigation, and police remind listeners to report any suspicious activity or provide camera footage if available.In the Tollgate neighborhood late Thursday, a domestic violence allegation prompted a rapid police response. Officers intervened at the scene, and one adult was taken into custody pending formal charges. The status of this case is listed as arrests made and further details will be released as permitted by law.During the week, APD also responded to incidents involving property crime at retail centers along South Havana Street, including reports of shoplifting and vandalism. Patrol units arrested two adults in connection to one shoplifting case after observed merchandise concealment and subsequent detainment. These cases are closed with arrests made.No major violent crimes were reported in the Mission Viejo or Meadow Hills neighborhoods, and APD continues extra patrols around school zones and public parks.
