AURORA, Colo.—A spokesman for the Aurora Police Department says officers who had information that a bank robber was in one of a group of vehicles in the southern part of the city stopped traffic and pulled several people out of their cars, questioning them and handcuffing some.
Frank Fania acknowledges taking motorists out of their cars en-masse is unusual, but he notes not everyone in the 19 vehicles involved Saturday night was put in handcuffs.
He tells The Denver Post ( ) “somebody made a quick decision to stop all of them and hold them and figure out what they were going to do next.”
Police were called to the area after someone wearing a mask robbed a Wells Fargo bank branch on East Hampden Avenue just before 4 p.m. A man taken from one of the vehicles was arrested.
