AURORA, Colo. — Police are looking for a man wanted for carjacking a tow truck in Aurora Wednesday afternoon.
The Aurora Police Department (APD) said the truck was stolen just after 2 p.m. from the area of Havana Street and Montview Boulevard.

Residents of that area are asked to lock their doors and windows and call 911 if they see or hear anything suspicious.
People with doorbells or surveillance cameras are asked to check their footage.
