The Aurora Police Department is looking for a suspect in an alleged kidnapping attempt over the weekend. But rather than releasing an old-school illustration of the individual in question, the APD has created a computer-generated image that provides a much better idea of his actual appearance.
Find details and a larger version of the "sketch" below.
At approximately 1 a.m. on Sunday, July 21, according to the APD, officers responded to a 911 call on the 3600 block of South Zeno Way in Aurora.
There, police reps came into contact with a woman who said a man came up behind her, grabbed her and dragged her along a nearby sidewalk until her screams alerted her fiancé, who was also outside.At that point, the alleged wannabe kidnapper took off, escaping under his own foot power.
The description? An African-American male in his late teens to early twenties, of modest height (around five-seven) with short, curly hair. At the time, he was wearing a white tank top with blue stripes, light-colored blue jeans and white tennis shoes.
If you recognize the man from the sketch, you're encouraged to phone Detective Pat Hardin at 303-627-3160 or Crime Stoppers at 303-913-STOP (7867). A reward of up to $2,000 is being offered for information leading to the suspect's arrest and conviction.
Here's a larger look at the CG image.
