Aurora police say they’ve taken a new tact in their drive as illegal-party poopers.
Cops broke up a party last week organized on Facebook that resulted in 55 juveniles and one adult getting ticketed from breaking into a new, vacant house in northeast Aurora.
Police say such vacant-house parties are a thing and are asking residents living in new developments to watch for these break-in bashes and call police.
The Facebook group page is called “Colorado Parties.” Police said the group page is not public, but the list of members is. Even if you’re not part of the group, people can watch the pages of friends and group members to see where parties are.
The Facebook page shows it’s run by Aaron Turn ‘Up Motta and has 1,231 members. Aaron has 4,997 Facebook friends and says he works at Arby’s, according to his Facebook page. Information on the public part of the Colorado Party page says:
“!!!ONLY ADD PEOPLE THAT PARTY INTO THE GROUP!!!
This is a group where you can find “Parties and Kickback addresses. Either you post the address or don’t bother posting at all! -NOBODY can see your post only the members in the group can. Page is (SECRET)>>>RULE<<<-Only post Party/Kickback addresses in this group! Nobodies (sic) gonna hit you up for no address JUST POST IT!
Police are urging parents to see if their children are members of this group or if they monitor it. It could mean criminal charges, police said.
During the May 17 party at 137 Kellerman St., police discovered more than 50 people inside the vacant home partying. Everyone there was ticketed for trespassing, curfew and some for alcohol possession charges. An adult at the party was arrested.
Kids at the Aurora party were from all over the metro area, police said, and learned about the event from the Facebook party site.
Police said some of the parties have resulted in thousands of dollars of damage to new, vacant homes.
