Aurora police are asking for the public’s help tracking down a car tied to a possible abduction that witnesses say turned into a terrifying hood ride on Sunday evening outside a food-and-beverage business on the 15200 block of East Hampden Avenue.
According to police, the incident unfolded at about 6:30 p.m., when two men were seen forcing a woman toward a vehicle. Witnesses told officers the woman climbed onto the hood as the car drove away, and that the vehicle briefly stopped near Chambers before taking off again with her still on the hood. Aurora police say the case is being investigated as a possible abduction.
In a post on X, the Aurora Police Dept shared photos and described the suspect car as a white 1997–2005 Chevrolet Malibu with tinted windows, silver five-spoke wheels, and possible front-end damage. The department led the post with the plea "Have you seen this vehicle?" and urged anyone with information to call 911 or Investigator Hess at 303-627-3214.
Vehicle Description And Scene
Investigators say one of the men forced the woman into the vehicle, and that she then climbed onto the hood as the car started moving. Witnesses reported the car leaving the 15200 block of East Hampden Avenue and stopping near Chambers before continuing away.
Police say any dash-cam, doorbell, or store security video from around 6:30 p.m. Sunday in that corridor could prove crucial in identifying the vehicle and the people involved.
How To Help
Anyone who saw the car or has video from the area is asked to contact Aurora police by calling 911 or Investigator Hess at 303-627-3214. If you believe a similar incident is happening in real time, officers say to call 911 immediately rather than approaching the vehicle or the suspects yourself.
Police are asking witnesses to preserve any footage, note timestamps, and share vehicle descriptions or partial license plates when possible.
Investigation Status
The Aurora Police Department says the investigation remains active and that no arrests have been publicly announced. Authorities have not released suspect names or additional identifying details as the probe continues. The department says it will post updates on its social channels as new information becomes available.
