The latest Aurora police reports from Nov. 11–18 detail a week that included social media harassment, multiple impaired driving cases, vehicle and garage fires, juvenile mischief with property damage, fraud and several traffic stops that led to warrants and license violations.
Harassment Complaint
On Nov. 11, a woman came to the police station to report ongoing harassment over social media. According to the report, she told officers she has been targeted online for roughly seven years. She planned to provide police with written communications and screenshots so a formal written report could be completed. The case was documented for follow-up.
OVI Crash into Ditch
Later that day, officers responded to a report of a gray pickup stuck in a ditch on Robinhood Drive after striking a mailbox. The driver was reportedly intoxicated and still inside the vehicle when police arrived. The man told officers he lived nearby and had accidentally turned into the wrong driveway.
Dispatch notes indicate officers requested a tow truck, took the male into custody and contacted the property owner to advise them of the damage. The driver was later charged with driving under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs. A person came to the station to pick him up after processing.
Two-Vehicle Crash Leads to OVI Investigation
On Nov. 12, officers were dispatched to a report of a two-vehicle crash involving a Hyundai and a GMC SUV on South Chillicothe Road near Maple Lane. One person initially declined medical attention at the scene but later complained of possible whiplash, and a squad was requested to a nearby church parking lot.
Police records show an officer transported a woman for a breath test, with assistance from another agency. While performing an inventory of one of the vehicles, police reported finding a water bottle that contained wine. A child was also reportedly present and arrangements were made for the child’s care. One driver was cited for assured clear distance, and an OVI investigation was initiated.
Vehicle And Garage Fire Calls
On the evening of Nov. 12, fire crews were called to Circlewood Drive for a report of a work truck on fire. Flames were seen coming from the engine compartment of a utility truck parked away from any structures. Firefighters brought the blaze under control with available water, and the fire was contained to the vehicle.
A few days later, on Nov. 16, Aurora police and firefighters responded to Cambridge Drive after an out-of-town visitor reported smoke coming from a garage and entering the home. The caller said they were working to get dogs out of the house. Everyone, including the dogs, safely evacuated. When command staff arrived, they reported nothing showing from the exterior and later marked the situation under control. No serious injuries were reported.
Juvenile Criminal Mischief on Club Drive
On the night of Nov. 14, a resident on Club Drive reported someone in a black pickup truck had been throwing eggs and soup cans at the home and left a stolen shopping cart behind. People reportedly banged on the door and drove off shortly before the call.
The caller believed the suspected driver was a high-school-age juvenile who lives in the Barrington area, possibly on Glengarry. Officers checked the area but were initially unable to find the vehicle. Later, police used vehicle and contact information to reach parents connected to the truck.
Several juveniles and parents met with officers, and those involved returned to the scene to clean up the mess. According to the report, the parents decided to handle discipline themselves, and police documented the incident as criminal mischief with juvenile information redacted.
Fraud, Identity Theft and Financial Disputes
On Nov. 17, a resident reported losing $1,000 in an online fraud case after money was taken from her bank account. The complaint was filed as fraud/identity theft.
That same day, another resident requested a police report alleging that a relative had been stealing funds. The caller said the person lives in her home, has prior felony convictions, access to weapons and mental health issues. She asked that officers meet with her the following day and planned to call again when she was available. The theft was documented, and the suspect information was redacted as uncharged.
On Nov. 18, another individual came to the station to file a fraud report involving identity theft.
Traffic Stops, Warrants and License Issues
Aurora police also initiated several traffic stops that resulted in additional actions:
- A driver on South Chillicothe Road was stopped in a Hyundai with both an expired plate and expired driver’s license. The plate had reportedly been expired for more than two years, and the driver had multiple prior license-related issues. Officers requested a tow and checked for active warrants through other departments before ultimately releasing the driver and arranging a ride. The driver was cited for driving under suspension and non-compliance.
- Another stop on North Aurora Road involved a vehicle registered to a woman, but the male driver was found to be suspended with an active warrant through another agency. One person was detained, a tow was requested for the vehicle and the passenger was given a ride to another location. The warrant was confirmed, and the driver was turned over for transport and processing.
Other Calls
Additional calls included a suspicious activity report from a woman who came to the station to discuss an incident from the previous evening, a death investigation involving a woman found deceased in an upstairs bedroom after reportedly being ill, and a warrant arrest handled with another agency.
