Armed crew storms Colorado apartment building overrun by Venezuelan gang spilling out from sanctuary city: wild video

A shocking video shows a crew of gun-wielding men storm through a Colorado apartment building reportedly overrun by a dangerous Venezuelan prison gang.

The group of heavily armed men — including three with handguns and one with a rifle — enter the troubled apartment complex in the Denver suburb of Aurora and break into a unit, the clip obtained by KDVR shows.

The footage was captured earlier this month, shortly before a shootout at the complex, The Edge at Lowry, severely injured one person and damaged multiple cars, according to the local news station.

A separate clip taken at a different time shows two men bashing the lock of a unit with a tire iron inside the same housing complex, where migrants have moved in.

Recent crime at the building has left residents of The Edge on edge.

“It’s been a nightmare and I can’t wait to get out of here,” Cindy Romero told KDVR as she moved out of the building with her husband, Edward.

The couple said the violence began when a large number of migrants moved into the building.

They used five locks on their apartment door from top to bottom as well as a door security bar jammer.

“Every day when we come home, we have to do this every time we go outside to take out the garbage,” Cindy said, turning each lock. “Every time we go to bed at night. We have to keep like this so that nobody can kick in the door.”

Their car was one of the vehicles riddled with bullets after the shootout.

The Romeros had been trying to move somewhere safer but said they couldn’t get the help needed to do so.

“We couldn’t get any help. We tried reaching out to resources, but they told us since it was not a condemned building, we would have to wait ’til that was the issue, but we didn’t want to wait for that,” Edward Romero told the local station.

They finally were able to pack up their stuff and leave with the help of Aurora City Council member Danielle Jurinsky, who has been outspoken about the influx of alleged members of the Venezuelan prison gang Tren de Aragua in the suburb of 390,000.

“The city nonprofits have lined up to help the migrants that have come here but nobody is helping the Americans that are trapped in these apartment complexes,” Jurinsky told the news station. “[And] this isn’t just Americans. Other Venezuelans are being extorted by this gang.”

The council member spoke to The Post earlier Wednesday about her community suffering from the spillover of Denver’s new migrant population — and resulting Tren de Aragua gang members.

“To our governor and to the mayor of Denver, I refuse to be silenced. I refuse to play the game of politics with you regarding this migrant crisis. And I will continue to speak up and speak out and help as many people as I can,” she said.

Denver, a sanctuary city, has received the largest number of migrants per capita across the nation, with more than 40,000 new arrivals since December 2022.

Directly east of Denver, Aurora has seen a flood of migrants itself — and crimes attributed to Tren de Aragua, a prison gang originating in the Aragua region of Venezuela.

The gang has infiltrated multiple states and other big cities like New York and Chicago after crossing into the US from the southern border.

Multiple high-profile crimes including the murder of Georgia nursing student Laken Riley and the Big Apple shooting of two NYPD officers in June have been linked to members of the violent gang.
