Aurora police are looking for three men suspected of stealing cash from a 90-year-old man after scamming their way into his home.
Aurora Police Department spokesman Dan Ferrelli said the incident occurred around 3 p.m. on Sept. 19 in the 800 block of Laurel Drive where a resident was in his front yard talking to a neighbor.
According to Ferrelli, three men got out of a silver Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck and approached the 90-year-old man about having his driveway redone.
When the victim declined, the men asked if he had any electronics he would like to sell them instead.
Ferrelli said two men were led inside the home, while a third man stayed outside.
Once inside, one of the men asked to use the restroom, Ferrelli said. The resident obliged, and when the suspect exited the restroom he abruptly told the others they had to leave.
Having become suspicious of their swift departure, the resident began checking around his home. Ferrelli said an undisclosed amount of cash was found to be missing from one of the rooms.
