Tren de Aragua Reportedly Destroys AirBNB in Colorado
An AirBNB in Colorado has reportedly fallen victim to the Tren de Aragua gang.
Several weeks ago, a story broke about several apartment complexes being taken over by gang members.
Now, the problem appears to be leaking into AirBNB properties.
It’s Happening Again
After videos surfaced of gang members threatening residents at apartment complexes in Aurora, CO, local authorities tried to belittle the reports.
Even so, more and more videos surfaced.
JD Vance was questioned about this at the time, with the reporter saying it was only happening in a “handful” of complexes, and I thought Vance was going to fall out of his chair in shock.
Instead of apartment complexes, now there are reports of an AirBNB property being destroyed by members of the same gang.
The owner of a property that the gang members allegedly destroyed, Karen Martiz, is distraught over the damage.
She stated, "I have put all my energy and love into this property to make it beautiful for my guests. It's a beautiful place. Everybody loved it.
“We have been hosting for two years and this was the first time that I showed up here and my house was completely destroyed. I couldn't believe it.”
The pictures of the property are horrifying.
The house is a no-smoking house, but they clearly did not respect the wishes of the owner.
There were cigarette butts all over the house, the property appeared to have been stolen, and the place was left a complete mess.
There was also chewing gum on the carpet and stuck all over the walls.
Martiz continued, "It was a horrible scene. When I walked into my house, I couldn't believe I was actually living this. Because until you live it, you are like, ‘Is this even something that could happen to people?’"
She has estimated that roughly $16,000 of damage was done to the property, which will now be off the market while she tries to repair the home.
Local authorities confirmed to local outlets that the notorious Venezuelan gang was behind the damage, with Martiz adding, "It's very real, and this group of people [Tren de Aragua] are doing it to people like me.”
According to local police, somewhere between 80 to 100 people were responsible for the damage.
The property will be out of commission for at least a month, which will be about a $20,000 or more hit when you consider the cost of repairs and lost income.
All for something that Democrats insist is not happening. I am sure Ms. Martiz would beg to differ.
I would love to see Trump offer to pay for the damages, then put Martiz on the campaign trail with him.
