| [Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Bombshell documents prove leaders in Aurora, Colorado knew Venezuelan super gang Tren de Aragua had taken control of three apartment buildings, but then denied the city had a gang problem when video of an armed takeover sent shock waves across the US. "Oh shit. Am I on video?" DailyMail.com obtained city records where staffers admitted three rental properties 'are in complete control' of Tren de Aragua (TdA) and claim that many more than just three properties are victims of the 'criminal infestation.' 'As of now, the Aurora-Multi-Family Properties are in the complete control of the Gangs,' the police report dated June 29 states. One document had been prepared by the Aurora Police Department for attorneys of the owner of the apartment complexes, CBZ Management, turned to the cops for help. 'One June 27, 2024, the Owners were informed that the Aurora Multi-Family Properties had been forcibly taken over and were in the control of individuals claiming to be part of one or more gangs ("Gangs") who have immigrated from the country of Venezuela to the City of Aurora, Colorado,' the crime report reads. The property manger of the three properties (Aspen Grove Apartments, the Edge of Lowry and Whispering Pines) was told by the thugs not to go back or his life would be in danger. Gang members were also known to be armed with deadly weapons, including assault rifles and knifes. A report by the law firm detailed the chaos at the apartments, including beatings that nearly left victims dead, shootings, drug sales and even child prostitution were taking place. The crime report was complied before video of TdA (as Tren de Aragaua is known to authorities) surfaced August 28, showing armed gangsters storming units at the Edge of Lowry apartments in the Denver suburb. As outrage over the images spread across the country, Aurora Mayor Mike Coffman denied Aurora had a gang problem in interview after interview with the media. While the city did not respond to an interview request from DailyMail.com asking when the city knew TdA had seized control of apartments, the Republican mayor has made every effort to downplay the South American mob's presence in his city. In an interview with the local Fox station on Aug. 29, Coffman said Aurora was not overrun by migrant criminals and instead described their control to be in 'isolated areas' and 'pockets' of the city. He claimed to know even less with a different Denver outlet on Sept. 4, when asked if he could confirmation Tren de Aragua was behind the violence, he said no. 'I think the view is kind of mixed on that,' Coffman told Denver7. 'Quite frankly, that part is not relevant to me.' In the next breath, Coffman went on to say the DEA had told him TdA was selling fentanyl in the his city, but kept to his narrative that no one knew if Tren de Aragua was involved. 'I don't think we know at this time,' he added. The police department had already arrested two known TdA member Jhonardy Jose Pacheco-Chirinos, also known as “Cookie” or “Galleta,' and his brother Jhonnarty Dejesus Pacheco-Chirinos. Additionally, a July 3 letter to the city manager obtained by DailyMail.com details a meeting between the Aurora Police Department, the FBI and Homeland Security Investigations or HSI to discuss the gang problem at the three properties owned by CBZ Management. 'In that meeting, it was disclosed that our situation is not an isolated event, but numerous other multi-family projects in the City of Aurora and throughout the State of Colorado are subject to the same gang control,' disclosed CBZ management's attorney. That major revelation is in stark contract to what the mayor has been saying. 'There is a tendency to exaggerate and to say this incident that's isolated to three buildings under the same ownership with the same people, concentration of Venezuelan migrants, is the city of Aurora...that the entire city is unsafe,' he said in the Denver7 interview. The apartment lawyer pleaded for an 'immediate face-to-face meeting' with City Manager Jason Batchelor. 'We are very concerned for our residents, our clients' properties, the surrounding neighborhoods, and our fellow property owners due to this criminal infestation, which includes extortion and the utilization of lethal weapons,' the letter reads. Despite the mayor's rejection of the information in the documents, his interview may have revealed why a person in his position might want to downplay a 'criminal infestation' in his community.' 'That narrative isn't true,' Coffman said. 'That's a destructive narrative to the economic health of this city.' |
