The number of people detained by police in Aurora is growing after an alleged overnight home invasion and kidnapping at an apartment building in the Colorado city. Police believe most of the suspects are Venezuelan migrants but they are unsure if they’re part of a notorious gang.
A spokesperson for the Aurora Police Department said on Tuesday evening that 19 people have been detained at the apartment complex, in two separate waves of police actions. Police responded to the apartment building at approximately 2:30 a.m. A group of people there had kidnapped and tortured a man and a woman, according to police.
The group allegedly tied up the couple, took them to a different unit that was vacant and beat them there while they burglarized their apartment. The couple was pistol-whipped, and the man was stabbed. Those two people were taken to the hospital but they are going to be okay.
