Two more elderly Aurora residents fell victim to a group of scam artists who have been targeting senior citizens throughout the city.
According to police, at about 1:15 p.m. Saturday, three people knocked on the front door of an Alyce Lane home and greeted the 89-year-old residents.The men had arrived in a white minivan, and mentioned something about lawn mowing services before making their way into the home.
Aurora Police Department spokesman Dan Ferrelli said the oldest suspect, an approximately 55-year-old white man, began to distract the couple with talk about lawn service.
A second man, approximately 35 years old, joined in distracting the victims, while a third suspect, approximately 25 years old, allegedly burglarized the home.
Ferrelli said the men then left the house, saying they would be back the following day.
The victims found an undisclosed amount of cash missing from a bedroom, Ferrelli said.
Ferrelli said the same group of men is suspected in at least three other burglaries and one attempted burglary that have recently occurred.
The crimes have targeted victims between the ages of 80 and 90 years old.In each incident it is believed that the older suspect distracts the victims while a second or third partner burglarizes the home, Ferrelli said.
The thieves have taken cash, jewelry and tools.In one instance, the engagement and wedding rings of an 87-year-old woman were swiped by the suspects.
The men have worked in a group of two and three. They are all described as white males. In addition to the white minivan, police believe the suspects may also be driving a black pickup truck.

Landscape designer Fernando Wong, who burst onto the Palm Beach scene two years ago thanks to his fresh design aesthetic, recently signed on to redesign South Floridas Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts.
In order to handle his existing residential projects, as well as the Four Seasons makeovers, Wong last month brought in landscape architect Phil Maddux, who will serve as president. Maddux will divide his time between the companys Miami and Worth Avenue offices.
Mostly Ill be managing the firm so theyre free to do what they do best, Maddux said, referring to Wong and partner Tim Johnson.
Maddux, a partner in the Palm Beach firm Sanchez & Maddux for 30 years, also will collaborate on design and planning.
Weve definitely got a lot going on, said Johnson. These projects certainly were a factor in our adding someone of Madduxs stature to our team.
In addition to that Palm Beach Four Seasons makeover, Wong and his team have already begun redesigning Miamis Surf Club in Surfside. He is working closely with renowned architect Richard Meier on landscaping and gardens that will meld the original 1930 Surf Clubs Mediterranean style with Meiers new modernistic glass structure.
We are working with the architect to help determine how the building is going to look, said Johnson about the Four Seasons. Known for his eye-catching hardscapes, Wong prefers to work with architects early in the design process.
Early experiences
Wong has won kudos for landscapes ranging from the Art Deco home that earned the Palm Beach Preservation Foundations Schuler Award to grand beachfront estates. Maddux was struck by the newcomers talent early on.
As soon as I saw his work, I realized he has a tremendous ability to adapt his designs to each site, Maddux said.

Designers team up for Four Seasons landscape projects
By custom, felling a hawthorn was thought to bring bad luck, so lone trees in the landscape may be very old. Photograph: Maria Nunzia/@Varvera
The hawthorn stands on Windmill Hill between Much Wenlock and Shadwell quarry. In the low November sun the tree glows blood red. Its berries, haws, crowd thick on its boughs and shine like little apples. There is no other tree in the area so laden with fruit, so vivid and so prominent in the landscape. Its shape is dense and squat, and it stands apart on the crest of the hill.
The hawthorn may be as old, if not older, than the stone tower of the windmill, which was first mentioned in local records in 1714 and which stopped like a clock when struck by lightning in 1850.
In old myths hawthorns were believed to have been seeded by lightning, and fires of hawthorn wood burned in magic rituals, weddings and funerals from ancient Greece to Scandinavia.
The wood also made the blocks used for chopping off heads. In many rural cultures it was considered deeply unlucky to cut down a hawthorn, and lone trees scattered around the countryside are much older than they appear.
It is possible that a special hawthorn grew on this hill hundreds of years ago and that it was a meeting place. Hawthorns marked moots, or assemblies to decide issues of local importance and manorial courts. This one may still be a moot point something arguable, undecided, contested, its original function lost generations ago.
Older than living memory, this tree or the one it is descended from, is as full of secrets as it is berries. Hawthorns that stand out like this one have been associated with the underworld and its supernatural inhabitants, the fairies, pixies and elves. At the moment the meadow on the hill is inhabited by bright yellow waxcap mushrooms, which also seem supernatural.
Burning bright red on this little hill of Wenlock limestone, the hawthorn draws the imagination into such a place of wonders. It waits to be used to drive out evil spirits, protect babies and houses, cure rheumatism, warts and toothache. It has waited a long time. But perhaps without all the symbolism and superstition it is free to be itself and waits, as it has every year, to be feasted on by birds.

Burning red the hawthorn brings to mind moots and magic rituals
SPRING HILL A week after city residents voted to allow wine in grocery stores, Spring Hills city council is now debating whether or not to change the amount of liquor licenses it distributes based on population.
Currently, the law states the city can issue one liquor license per 5,000 people. The proposed amendment could raise that limit to 10,000.
This is something liquor store owners, like Randy Wilkes, of Station Wine and Spirits, is in favor of, because he said it gives businesses like his time to adjust to the new law and face the inevitable competition of chain stores.
With the law that just passed on this past Tuesday, the four mom-and-pop retail stores in Spring Hill are now going to be competing with some of the largest retailers in America, he said.
Spring Hills population is around 31,000. If the amendment passes, no new license will be distributed unless it grows to 50,000.
During Monday nights work session, council members seemed split on the issue. Some claimed the measure would prevent larger stores that could accommodate more products like mixers, glasses and other bar-related accessories. Others, like Alderman Amy Wurth opposed the change because she felt it contradicts the idea of a free market and other opportunities for growth within the city.
Im not going to support this. Were trying to limit competition within our city and I dont know why, Wurth said. I dont know if its because wine in grocery stores passed or we dont want any more competition. Its just against every core principle I have.
Vice Mayor Bruce Hull said he feels limiting the liquor market to four stores isnt hurting anybody. He also said despite the idea of Spring Hill having a free market, it already puts bans and restrictions on certain businesses within the city.
Im good with the 10,000. I think it should be as high as we can legally make it. And we do restrict a free market in this city. We have a ban on any type of sex businesses, strip clubs, anything like that. Theyre not allowed in the city, Hull said. If we could, I think we should ban all cash-advance places. I think they prey on poor people.
Alderman Eliot Mitchell also agrees the board should pick a number that makes sense and said the laws are in place because it is both a safety issue and the concept of a liquor store on every corner directly affects property values as well.
