‘Times’ Up’ For Tren de Aragua Members, Major Arrest in NYC

Two members of the vicious Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua have been arrested in New York City in a major drug and credit card scam bust, according to the New York Post. An “arsenal of deadly assault rifles” was also found in the bust.

Denyeer Aramillo Meneses, 23, and Edison Pena Angulo, 25, were arrested in the bust during an early morning raid in the Bronx. The two were allegedly part of the apartment complex takeover in Aurora, Colorado which drew national attention as their antics were caught on camera inside the building. Warrants for their arrest were issued on October 1 by local police after the incident. Somehow, they made their way to New York City and were caught on Wednesday, November 27.

There were 15 suspected members of Tren de Aragua in total involved in the bust.

“The group was selling a variety of drugs — including heroin, fake weed and the synthetic drug Tussi — and also dabbled in credit card fraud and violence, sources said.

Cops also found a cache of semi-automatic weapons during the raid, including three assault rifles, two pistols and ammo cans packed with cartridges, sources said.”

It’s not clear yet what charges the suspects will face because their federal indictment and the offenses “remain sealed.”

One law enforcement officer told The Post, “Enough already with these guys,” adding, “[TDA’s] time is up.”

New York City has seen its share of Tren de Aragua’s activity, with some suspects being as young as teenagers caught in robberies on the streets. The illegal migrants have grown concerns for residents of the city and other states across the country where active members have been found.

The Venezuelan gang grew its presence in the United States while the Biden administration left the border wide open, making the criminals’ entry into the country possible.
