Aurora police pursuit of stolen vehicle ends in multi-vehicle crash, suspect arrested
The Aurora police department is investigating after they say a driver led police on a pursuit in a stolen vehicle, crashed, and then stole another vehicle and crashed again. According to APD, around 9:30 a.m., their officers spotted a stolen Ford Expedition that had been taken in Westminster on August 12. The driver reportedly led officers on a pursuit east on Colfax Avenue before merging onto I-70. They exited the interstate and headed back westbound on I-70, where officers had deployed Stop Sticks. Authorities said that when the driver swerved onto the grassy shoulder to avoid them, the vehicle rolled, and the driver ran away, leading officers on a foot chase. Officers took the female passenger into custody, and shortly after, received reports that the driver had attempted a carjacking. They say the driver then stole a different vehicle. Authorities said as the suspect was heading north on Tower Road, he reportedly struck another vehicle heading west on 40th Avenue. The stolen vehicle spun, striking two more cars at the intersection. Officers arrested the suspect, who was taken to the hospital for a medical evaluation. The APD said he is refusing to cooperate with the investigation. The three other drivers involved in the crash were not injured. Authorities closed southbound Tower Road while officers worked to clear the scene. Traffic reopened in all directions around 10:41 a.m., but police said that some areas and lanes will remain blocked while the investigation continues. APD Public Information Officer Matthew Longshore said that since the department changed its pursuit policy in March, officers have been involved in around 120 pursuits. Of the 59 vehicles stopped, 72 people have been arrested, many with criminal histories. "These aren't just regular people that are driving stolen cars," said Longshore. "These are criminals involved in criminal behavior. People aren't stealing cars to go drive to the grocery store; these people are stealing cars to commit other crimes."

Albuquerque mother charged with child abuse after one-year-old almost overdoses
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – An Albuquerque mother is charged with child abuse after police say her one-year-old was overdosing on fentanyl at a northeast Albuquerque hotel. Court documents show that police responded to the Days Inn on Candelaria Rd. after a housekeeper came to the rescue and administered Narcan to the infant on Tuesday. APD: Seven-year-old tells police he watched mother kill his sister Police said 40-year-old Isha Garcia called out for help, requesting Narcan for an overdose in her room. A housekeeper was nearby and told police because of the history of drug use at the hotel, she keeps Narcan on her. By the time first responders arrived on scene, the one-year-old was alive and breathing. Police said the baby was a twin, and they were in a playpen while their mother and others smoked meth and fentanyl. When officers spoke to Garcia, she said her baby found a pill on the floor, which ended up being fentanyl. Garcia is now charged with child abuse. The New Mexico Children, Youth, and Families Department put both children on a 72-hour hold CYFD sent KRQE News 13 this statement: This case is under active investigation, and it would be premature for CYFD to comment at this time. However, CYFD can confirm that both children are safe and receiving the appropriate care. Jessica Preston, Acting Public Information Officer Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
