Venezuelan Gang Allegedly Takes Over Colorado Apartments Amid Accusations of Government Inaction

CBZ Management claims local officials ignored the gang problem, leading to violent takeovers and scapegoating of the company.

CBZ Management alleges that the Tren de Aragua gang has taken control of several apartment complexes in Aurora, Colorado, threatening employees and extorting rent.
The company accuses local officials of deflecting blame by citing code violations, despite previously passing inspections.
Surveillance footage and photos shared by CBZ show violent incidents, including an attack on an employee who refused a bribe from gang members.
CBZ claims the local police and government have failed to address the gang issue, leading to increased crime and tenant displacement.
Aurora officials have criticized CBZ, labeling them as 'out-of-state slumlords,' while the company insists they are being unfairly scapegoated.
