Aurora Police Stop Stolen Cruiser After Multi-Jurisdiction Chase

Aurora police responded to a burglary report that led to a man stealing a parked Aurora patrol car, resulting in a 40-minute chase across the city. The pursuit ended near Alameda Avenue and South Airport Boulevard when an Aurora police sergeant intentionally rammed the stolen vehicle to force a stop; both the suspect and the sergeant were injured but are expected to recover. The stolen patrol car's anti-theft device, which prevents driving without keys, was not activated, a fact under investigation. Separately, Aurora police are seeking the public's help to identify a hit-and-run suspect involved in a fatal crash on August 9, where a 65-year-old motorcyclist named Harvey Davis was struck by a 2003 Subaru Forester that failed to stop at a stop sign and fled the scene. The Subaru was found abandoned near the crash site, and authorities have shared photos of the vehicle, asking anyone with information to contact Metro Denver Crime Stoppers. These incidents highlight ongoing public safety challenges in Aurora, with police actively pursuing suspects and community assistance.
