Aurora police searching for vehicle after suspected kidnapping

UPDATE: As of Tuesday evening, Aurora police say they were no longer searching for the vehicle and the alleged victim was found safe. 

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 man was seen dragging a 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.
