Police Want Help Locating Suspects In Attempted Kidnapping In Aurora

AURORA, Colo. (CBS4) - Police in Aurora are looking for two men who tried to kidnap a woman heading to a restaurant in the 1600 block of South Chambers Road last Tuesday.

Police released a picture of a small white car. The woman says two men pulled up in that car and parked next to her. She says the driver got out and asked for directions, and then the passenger got out and tried to put a towel over her mouth.

The woman broke free and ran to Pitchers Sports Restaurant. The restaurant manager said many customers a local and loyal but nobody recognized the suspect car.

Both men are described as white or Hispanic between 22 and 30 years old.

"We definitely need to identify these two males," Sgt. Cassidee Carlson said. "We don't know what was on this towel, if anything. And we don't know what their motive was at this point."

Aurora police say they don't believe the case is related to any other incidents. They haven't had any other reports of abduction attempts similar to this case.

Anyone with information is asked to call Detective T. Williams at (303) 739-6709. Remain anonymous and can call metro Denver Crime Stoppers at (720) 913-STOP (7867) or simply text the tip to: 274637 (CRIMES) then title DMCS and enter your message. You can remain anonymous and may be eligible for a cash reward from Crime Stoppers.
