Suspect in multiple Aurora robberies arrested

A man suspected of robbing an Aurora business several times over the last few months has been arrested.

Ross Woessner, 20, of Aurora, was taken into custody Wednesday and booked into the Aurora Detention Center. He faces charges of aggravated robbery and menacing, which are both felonies.

He’s believed to be the person responsible for six different robberies in southeast Aurora, most of which occurred at the same Shell gas station, typically between midnight and 4 a.m.

“This is probably one of the first cases I’ve seen ever where the same suspect chooses the same location multiple times like this,” said Matthew Longshore, a spokesman for Aurora Police.

“We’ve heard of these different crews that go around and do similar things around the metro area, but having one person go to the same spot four different times over the course of five months is very odd.”

The robberies began on July 21 of last year, and the most recent occurred on Feb. 24. Five of the six robberies took place at the Shell gas station, located at 3385 South Tower Road. One of them was at the nearby 7-Eleven at 18883 East Hampden Ave.

“He doesn’t go after the money, it’s only been the merchandise in the store — the vape, tobacco and the beer products,” Longshore said.
