An armed illegal immigrant gang has reportedly taken over an apartment complex in Aurora, Colorado.
New footage obtained by Vicente Arenas shows an armed gang at a complex in Aurora.
Aurora officials have been investigating a Venezuelan gang, the Tren de Aragua gang, who is accused of engaging in human smuggling, violence, money laundering, and illicit drug trafficking throughout the U.S., including at the apartment complex on Nome Street in Aurora.
According to local reports, the complex is closing down because of "code violations," however this appears to be a cover for a much bigger problem.
"We are not buying this. We believe that yes, there are code violations, but this started because of a gang takeover," said Aurora City Councilwoman Danielle Jurinsky.
Crime at the complex in question has increased big time.
In 2022 there were 41 reported crimes, 84 crimes in 2023, and 66 crimes in the first half of 2024.
