A Colorado Airbnb owner who rented her home in a quiet mountain town was horrified to find that it was overrun by suspected Tren de Aragua gangbangers who threw a raucous party and completely trashed the place.
Karen Martiz said her house in Evergreen — about 30 miles west of Denver — has $16,000 in damage.
The partiers left cigarette butts, gum on the carpets, walls and ceiling, hundreds of empty bottles of alcohol and drug paraphernalia behind.
Martiz believes the Venezuelan prison gang is behind the mess.
Local cops agree.
The Clear Creek County Sheriff’s Office said it suspects that TdA members were part of the group of 80 to 100 people who partied at the Airbnb, according to FOX31.
The property’s rules allow only a handful of guests to stay there.
“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,” Martiz told Fox News Wednesday.
She recalled encountering a “horrible scene” when she entered the property after the group’s stay.
“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 said. --->READ MORE HEREColorado Airbnb host faces $16K in damages after suspected migrant gang members 'destroy' property:
Denver authorities believe members of Venezuelan migrant gang Tren de Aragua are behind the incident
Cigarette butts, gum, cans, empty bottles and bags of drugs littered an Airbnb property hidden away in the Colorado mountains after one guest's brief stay turned into a longstanding problem brought on by suspected gang-related chaos, leaving host Karen Martiz facing thousands of dollars in repairs while the property remains damaged and temporarily useless.
"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," Martiz told Fox News early Wednesday.
The property located in Evergreen, west of Denver, is marked as a "no-smoking" property, but that didn't stop the guest who checked in to stay over the weekend – and the people they brought along for a massive party.
Its living space was emptied, walls dirtied, carpets stained and marred by gum. Gum was even stuck on the walls and ceilings, Martiz told FOX31, an affiliate based in Denver.
"Disrespected" and "violated," she told the outlet she's left with no choice but to replace the entire carpet. Overall damages are estimated at $16,000.
"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 said.
Local authorities told FOX31 they suspect members of the Venezuelan migrant gang Tren de Aragua were behind the destruction, but did not specify why.
Police told Martiz the same. She additionally shared with Fox News that a neighbor present nearby when the chaos occurred heard gunshots coming from the property. --->READ MORE HERE
