DENVER (AP) — Police say over a dozen people tied up and terrorized a man and woman at a crime-riddled suburban Denver apartment in what’s being described as an apparent gang-related attack on two Venezuelan immigrants. Authorities say the apartment complex was the scene of a viral video that led now President-elect Donald Trump to make an unsubstantiated claim that Aurora had been taken over by a Venezuelan gang. Aurora Police Chief Todd Chamberlain says the city east of Denver is not gang-infested. But he also said there’s a “high assumption” that those responsible are affiliated with a Venezuelan gang. Fourteen people have been detained, and Chamberlain says all involved are most likely from Venezuela.
