At least 15 people, all Venezuelans, have been arrested at an apartment complex in Aurora, Colorado. The complex went viral a few weeks ago due to the same type of activity from the same type of people who have just been arrested. The viral clip in question featured around a dozen armed Venezuelan men breaking into an apartment.
For months, there have been reports of Venezuelans from the gang Tren De Aragua terrorizing local residents, mostly other Venezuelans. Allegations of home invasions, kidnappings, extortions, and other offenses have become the norm from the complex. The 15 people arrested recently are accused of following that same pattern of criminal offenses… home invasion, kidnapping, and assault with a weapon.
Police showed a massive presence upon their arrival to conduct mass arrests, including a SWAT vehicle that is essentially an urban tank.
