AURORA | Police say they’re looking for potential car-jacking victims after robbery suspects led officers on a chase from a south-Aurora grocery store to northeast Aurora Friday afternoon.
Police were responding to an armed robbery reported at the Walmart at 5650 S. Chambers Road on Friday. The time of the robbery was not disclosed.
When officers arrived at the Walmart, they began pursuing suspects fleeing in a car.
The suspects at some point crashed their car into another vehicle. Police said there were no injuries associated with the crash.
“Immediately following the crash, the suspects attempted to carjack another vehicle,” police said. “This vehicle was a red sedan.”
Apparently, the fleeing robbery suspects were unable to commandeer the red sedan and began to run, somewhere near East 40th Avenue and Tower Road, police reported.
“A short foot pursuit began and officers were able to locate the suspects and get them into custody,” police said. “A weapon was successfully recovered.”
Police did not identify the suspects, but they did say they would like to talk to the attempted car-jacking victims as part of the investigation.
“If you were a victim in the attempted carjacking, please reach out to APD,” police said in a social media post.
Thank you, officers, for capturing the suspects.
