Aurora police arrest 5 in sophisticated burglary ring targeting 21 homes

Five Colombian nationals were arrested in Aurora for their involvement in a sophisticated burglary ring that targeted at least 21 homes. The arrests followed an extensive investigation conducted by the Aurora Police Department, in collaboration with local and federal agencies, which uncovered the suspects' use of counter-surveillance measures and signal jamming technology to evade security systems. During the operation, police executed search warrants at two residences, recovering hundreds of stolen items including cash, jewelry, high-priced clothing, and firearms. The suspects, aged between 26 and 44, are facing charges of attempted second-degree burglary and conspiracy to commit burglary, and are currently in federal custody. Authorities are urging anyone with information related to similar burglaries to come forward. The investigation remains ongoing as formal charges are expected to be filed by the 18th Judicial District Attorney’s Office.
