In the early hours of Tuesday, a young man crept up to a residential mailbox in unincorporated Aurora, placed an explosive device in it, and blew it up.
Unfortunately for the man, the resident had a security camera perfectly place to capture him on film.
At approximately 1:30am Tuesday, Kane County Sheriff’s Deputies were dispatched to a residence in the 600 block of Gilbert Terrace in unincorporated Aurora Township for a report that a mailbox had been blown up.
Deputes learned that a residential US mailbox, which was attached to a residence, was blown up by a subject who placed an unknown explosive device into it. The house has security cameras, and the subject was recorded.
The subject appears to be a male in his later teens wearing a baseball hat. The subject ran from the area prior to the mailbox blowing up.
KCSO detectives and members of the Kane County Sheriff’s Office Bomb squad are investigating this incident. Anyone who may think they recognize this subject in the photo are asked to call detectives a 630-444-1103. You can submit a tip though the Kane County App which can be downloaded through the App Store or Google Play.
