Aurora police have arrested an 18-year-old man suspected of impersonating a police officer and are searching for victims.
Christopher Steven Harris was arrested in a south Aurora neighborhood Friday afternoon.
A witness called police after he saw Harris pull over a burgundy sedan behind a Kohl's department store near South Tower Road and East Hampden Avenue on Friday.
Harris was driving a grey Nissan with blue and red flashing lights on the dashboard and no rear license plate, police said.
The female driver of the burgundy car left after Harris stepped out of his car, and Harris drove out of the parking lot. She was able to direct police to Harris.
Harris was charged with impersonating a police officer, a class six felony. He was released on $2,000 bail. A marijuana pipe was found in his car.
Police would like information from the woman in the burgundy car and any other possible victims. Anyone with information is asked to call Detective Renee Grahn at 303-627-3167 or Sgt. Scott Newhouse at 303-627-3152.
