From the New York Post: The violent Tren de Aragua gang, running rife across the Big Apple, is expanding its reach across the US — and is being tied to a brutal Colorado jewelry store heist in which two female staffers were pistol-whipped and threatened with death.
The Venezuelan prison gang was tied to the caught-on-camera Denver heist from June 25 when a suspect, Jean Torres Roman, 21, was arrested in Las Cruces, New Mexico, and turned over to the Denver County Sheriff’s Office last week.
Roman crossed the border illegally in 2023 — but was only identified as a member of Tren de Aragua early last month, Homeland Security sources told The Post.
Torres Roman allegedly carried out the heist along with several others who remain at large, according to Border Report.
Footage from the store’s surveillance cameras shows the female employees fleeing to a back room of the store, but the men chased after them, pushed their way into the room, and repeatedly hit the women in the head with their pistols.
Eight men in all were reportedly involved in the attack, with some entering through the front door, and others bursting in through the back of the store.
Watch the video report below of the terrifying attack:
