Video shows armed men in apartment complex in Colorado

Gruesome scene in Colorado…where people say members of a brutal Venezuelan gang are taking over entire apartment complexes…and footage shows the men are heavily armed.

New video from an Aurora apartment complex shows six men wandering through hallways, climbing a staircase and banging on the front door of an apartment … and five of the men are armed.

One of the men openly carries what appears to be an assault rifle (just look at the weapon's huge scope), while the other four walk around with handguns.

Lately there have been many reports of problems with a Venezuelan gang called Tren de Aragua in Denver and now Aurora… once a quiet suburb.

Member of the Aurora City Council Dani Jurinsky claims that a gang has taken over several apartment complexes in the city.

The video is spreading like wildfire on social media and appears to have also appeared on the radar of the Denver Police Department … as cops issued a statement on Wednesday declaring that police are “taking the presence of the Tren de Aragua seriously.”

Denver police say there is reason to believe gang members are involved in crime in the area, but they do not know of any gang “taking over” a Denver home, even though the video technically came from Aurora.
