The 18th Judicial District Grand Jury has indicted eight people on 69 counts including violations of the Colorado Organized Crime Control Act (COCCA) and numerous counts of aggravated robbery and kidnapping. Some defendants are also charged with assault and attempted murder.
The indictment alleges that the gang members held up employees of cell phone stores at gunpoint and stole expensive cell phones, which they later sold. The group also robbed a marijuana dispensary, and some members tried to kill the man who had been selling the stolen phones.
The Aurora Police Department and the FBI’s Rocky Mountain Safe Streets Task Force were key investigators of these crimes, along with the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office, Lakewood Police Department and Denver Police Department.
