Teen, 2 Men Pistol Whip, Rob Man In Aurora: Cops

AURORA, IL --- A teen and two men are facing felony charges after they allegedly pistol whipped and robbed an 18-year-old in Aurora. The armed robbery took place around 4:30 a.m. Friday in the 100 block of N. Union, according to police. Marco Magana, 20, of the 700 block of Spruce St., Brandon Alcaraz-Rua, 19, of the 100 block of N. State St., and a teen have been charged in connection with the incident.

The victim told police he was smoking cannabis inside of a parked car with the three suspects when they allegedly hit him with a pistol and robbed him. After the robbery was reported, officers tried to find Alcaraz-Rua because of "past dealings they had with him."

Police then reportedly found a car that matched the description provided by the defendant and took Magana and the juvenile, who were inside the car, and Alcaraz-Rua, who was inside the home, into custody.

The three suspects have been charged with class X felony counts of armed robbery, which means they may have to serve additional prison time.
