Seventeen people have been taken into custody by the Aurora, Colorado, police department in the aftermath of a violent armed home invasion that occurred at an apartment complex in the area.
The incident took place on Tuesday morning, just before 2:30 a.m., when officials were summoned to The Edge at Lowry Apartments, which is situated in the 1200 block of Dallas Street.
The authorities were called in response to a report of an armed house invasion that included both a stabbing and a kidnapping.
The Aurora Police Department immediately launched a preliminary investigation upon arriving at the site, and during that investigation, they determined that multiple individuals had entered an apartment where two people were present.
After that, the suspects threatened and shackled the victims while they were taken to another apartment within the same complex. The victims were taken there against their will by the intruders.
One of the victims, a male, was stabbed as the attack was taking place. He was one of the victims. On the other hand, law enforcement officials have claimed that he is anticipated to survive despite the severity of the wounds.
The perpetrators eventually let the victims go, and they were able to phone 911 and report the incident to the authorities when they were freed from their confinement.
Fourteen people have been successfully detained by the police in connection with the event. The facts surrounding the armed home invasion are still being investigated by the authorities, and they are seeking to determine the entire extent of the suspects’ involvement in the incident.
“We are still at the very early stages of the investigation,” the police press release stated. “We will provide updates as more information becomes available.”
Authorities are set to give more details about the ongoing investigation into the armed house invasion and kidnapping at The Edge at Lowry Apartments in Aurora, Colorado, at a news conference later on Tuesday.
A terrible occurrence that happened late in the summer has already drawn attention to this apartment complex. The building’s stairs and halls were occupied by armed members of the Tren de Aragua (TdA), a well-known criminal organization from Venezuela, according to a widely shared video.
Concern concerning the gang’s presence in the neighborhood was raised by the video.
As of Tuesday morning, however, authorities had not verified any link between the Tren de Aragua gang and the recent house invasion. To ascertain whether there is a connection between the two instances, investigators are still at work.

Fourteen people have been detained as part of the ongoing investigation into the Tuesday early house invasion, but authorities are hesitant to make any judgments until more information is available. Police are anticipated to give more details during the news conference later today, since the matter is still being investigated.
Concerns have been raised in the community as a result of the issue, which has prompted local officials to take efforts to guarantee that further safety measures are put into place to protect residents of the complex.
