Australian National Review – Surveillance footage reveals suspected gang presence in Aurora apartment building

Surveillance footage from a Colorado apartment complex has captured what appears to be gang-related activity, raising alarms among residents and local officials. The video shows several armed men, including one with a scoped rifle, forcibly entering the building.

The group is suspected of being members of Tren de Aragua (TdA), a transnational gang originally from Venezuela. With an estimated 5,000 members and a motto of “real to the death,” TdA has been linked to more than 100 crimes in the United States, according to recent reports.

Aurora City Councilwoman Danielle Jurinsky expressed her grave concerns in an exclusive interview with Fox News Digital, stating, “There’s no question that there’s sex trafficking going on right now” in relation to TdA’s operations in the city. One former resident, who spoke on condition of anonymity, described the situation as dire: “This is organized. They’re visibly patrolling the premises with guns, like they’re not trying to hide them. There’s no repercussions. These are ghosts.”

The resident, who recently moved with the help of Councilman Jurinsky and congressional candidate John Fabbricatore, shared his frustration with the lack of response from police. “There’s no safety net for you, because the police don’t come. They say, ‘Stay inside and lock your doors.’ I have to work!”

Despite these reports, local law enforcement appears to be downplaying the situation. Denver police told FOX 31 they were “not aware” of any gang takeovers of apartments in the area. Aurora police released a statement on social media saying they believe reports of TdA influence in Aurora are “isolated.”

Councilwoman Jurinsky expressed her frustration with the lack of acknowledgement from officials and the media about the gang’s presence. “It’s a real struggle throughout the Denver metropolitan area to get anyone, the media, other elected officials, to acknowledge the presence of this trend and acknowledge that there is a problem at all,” she said.
