Christmas Saved: Aurora Police Release Body-Worn Camera Footage from Fox Valley Mall Grinch Arrest

Aurora, IL – The Aurora Police Department has released body-worn camera footage from a holiday incident that briefly put Christmas cheer on the run—but not for long.

On December 17, 2025, just around 10:15 a.m., Officer Braden Lentini was on a routine foot patrol after receiving a report, from a good Samaritan named Emmet, of the Grinch attempting to make off with presents from Santa’s Christmas tree inside the Fox Valley Mall. Officer Lentini, who was already on foot patrol, quickly spotted the suspect.

Thanks to the quick thinking of Emmet, and some timely assistance from Santa Claus, Officer Lentini was able to track down the Grinch. After a short foot pursuit, the Grinch was taken into custody peacefully and without incident.

No injuries were reported, and the Aurora Police Department can confirm there was no credible threat to public safety—or to Christmas.

The Grinch has been charged with Theft, Criminal Damage to Property, Resisting Arrest & Obstructing a Peace Officer. The Grinch is currently being held at the City of Aurora Detention Center pending a court appearance.

“While this incident brought some laughs, it also showed how quickly our officers respond and how strong our community is. I’m proud of Officer Lentini and grateful to Emmet for stepping up when it mattered. Most importantly, no one was hurt, and there was no threat to public safety—or to Christmas.” said Police Chief Matt Thomas.

The Aurora Police Department is releasing the body-worn camera footage to provide transparency and to share a moment of holiday spirit with the community. While the Grinch may have tried to steal Christmas, teamwork, kindness, and a little holiday magic ensured it stayed right where it belongs.

Merry Christmas and aloha from our family to yours 🙏🏽 May we spend this day and every day remembering Jesus Christ and following his message to us all:  “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.

BREAKING: President Trump says the U.S. launched airstrikes in Nigeria on Christmas night targeting ISIS militants he accused of killing Christians, calling the operation decisive and warning further attacks would follow if the violence continues.

@police_frequency

The President was clear last month: the killing of innocent Christians in Nigeria (and elsewhere) must end.

The DeptofWar is always ready, so ISIS found out tonight — on Christmas. More to come…

Grateful for Nigerian government support & cooperation.

Merry Christmas!

Watch: Aerial drone footage shows the magnificent size of the hwy 229 landalide in Siletz,Oregon. The recent Siletz landslide is described as "massive," blocking a quarter-mile of Oregon 229, destroying three homes, and being one of the largest ODOT has seen, with officials calling it "pure devastation," though precise volume measurements aren't specified in initial reports, only its a huge impact and potentially a multi-month closure.
