🚓Suspect Arrested from June Street Racing Event🚓
Street racing isn’t welcome in Aurora, and the dedicated men and women of the Aurora Police Department are committed to disrupting street racing events in our city. It doesn’t matter if we catch you in the act or after the fact. If you put our community at risk by engaging in this dangerous behavior, we will find you, arrest you and impound your vehicle through the duration of the criminal court process.
Case in point, last night members of your Direct Action Response Team arrested Carlo Saucedo-Macias, 19, of Northglenn, on charges of vehicular eluding, reckless endangerment, reckless driving, driving without a license, failing to stop at a stop light, unsafe lane change and driving without license plates.
The charges stem from June 22, when a silver GMC pickup was observed by officers doing donuts and engaging in other reckless driving behavior during an illegal street racing event at a business parking lot in the 18000 block of East 40th Avenue. Officers successfully disrupted the event but were unable to contact the driver of the pickup.
Officers assigned to APD’s Street Racing Task Force, Traffic Investigations and DART worked with partner agencies from the Arapahoe County Sheriff's Office and Cherry Creek State Park, Colorado Parks and Wildlife and ultimately identified Saucedo-Macias as the driver on June 22. He was contacted by DART officers last night and booked into the Aurora Municipal Detention Center.
Saucedo-Macias also was booked on an active warrant out of Larimer County for additional traffic offenses. Formal charges for the Aurora street racing event will be filed by the 17th District Attorney’s Office.
