Aurora police searching for vehicle after suspected kidnapping

The Aurora Police Department is asking the public for information on a possible kidnapping that took place Tuesday afternoon.

Investigators released images of a silver BMW that was parked behind 9898 E. Colfax Avenue around 12:31 p.m. They say a Black man was seen dragging a white woman towards the vehicle before forcing her into the back seat and driving away.

Officers say they located the BMW, but they lost sight of it after a short pursuit. The vehicle was reportedly seen in the area of 13th Avenue and Xapary Street, and the APD believes it traveled south on I-225 toward Mississippi Avenue.

Police encouraged anyone who sees the vehicle to call 911 immediately.
