Press Release: Aurora Police Detain 14 in Armed Home Invasion Incident
Aurora, CO – In the early hours of Tuesday, Aurora police detained 14 suspects following a reported armed home invasion at The Edge at Lowry Apartments, a location previously highlighted for criminal activity in a viral video earlier this year.
The incident unfolded around 2:30 a.m. when officers responded to a call regarding an armed invasion involving a stabbing and the kidnapping of two residents in an apartment located on Dallas Street. Preliminary investigations indicate that multiple suspects forcibly entered the apartment, subsequently relocating and restraining the victims in another unit within the complex. During the ordeal, one male victim suffered a non-life-threatening stab wound.
After being released, the victims were able to notify authorities by calling 911. Upon arriving at the scene, police officers quickly detained the 14 suspects, but their identities have not yet been disclosed. As investigations proceed, it remains unclear what circumstances led to this violent incident. Authorities have not confirmed any affiliations between the suspects and a Venezuelan gang, despite ongoing inquiries.
This incident marks a notable escalation of violence in the apartment complex that gained attention when a video earlier this year depicted armed individuals intimidating residents. Following that footage, President-elect Donald Trump announced "Operation Aurora" to address the rising crime in the area.
As law enforcement continues its investigation, officials urge anyone with information about this incident to come forward. The Aurora Police Department is committed to ensuring the safety of its citizens and addressing the underlying issues contributing to such violent acts.
For further updates, the Aurora Police Department encourages the community to stay connected through their official channels.
