This migrant gangbanger flipped his wig.
A male Tren de Aragua gang member in Aurora, Colorado, dressed in drag — including a long, voluminous wig and woman’s knit hat — last week try to evade suspicion as cops hunted for the perpetrators of a brutal kidnapping, according to local authorities.
Photos show Venezuelan gangbanger Niefred Serpa-Acosta, 20, with his hands up as he pretended to be a she when cops showed up, Aurora City Councilwoman Danielle Jurinsky told The Post.
Police were sweeping The Edge at Lowry apartments for suspects in the kidnapping and torturing of two residents in the Denver suburb early Dec. 17.
Serpa-Acosta’s deep voice, however, blew his cover, Jurinsky said.
“This gives a whole new meaning to transnational gangs in Aurora,” she quipped.
Serpa-Acosta first fled cops after a viral video circulated in August showing heavily armed gang members breaking into an apartment at The Edge at Lowry complex in Aurora.
Minutes later, the group allegedly shot someone outside the building.
Just a few months before, in May, Serpa-Acosta was detained by ICE and admitted he was a member of the notorious Venezuelan gang and had the tattoos to show his affiliation, sources previously told The Post.
It’s not clear why he was released from federal custody.
Serpa-Acosta then went on to allegedly carry out the kidnapping and brutal torturing of a migrant couple living at The Edge apartment complex earlier this month.
A group of migrant gang members abducted the couple from their home before forcing them into another apartment in the complex — then tied them up, pistol-whipped and beat them, cops said.
Some of the gangbangers also returned to the couple’s apartment to burglarize it.
The victims were cut loose after lying to their captors and promising not to call the cops. Police received a 911 call from the couple around 2:30 a.m. on Dec. 17.
When police swept the apartment complex and began questioning residents, they found Serpa-Acosta in the wig.
Aurora Police Chief Todd Chamberlin said Acosta “actually came out in disguise,” adding he thinks “that’s probably a big reason why he was not apprehended earlier,” according to the Daily Mail.
“Whether he did that all the time or he did that just that day, I can’t make that determination,” said Chamberlin.
Police are now seeking charges against 16 gangbangers believed to have carried out the kidnapping, according to Denver news station KDVR.
Serpa-Acosta is currently in ICE custody in Denver.
Acosta first entered the US at the El Paso, Texas border, where he was quickly deported to Mexico before he reentered the country at an unknown time as he sneaked past border agents, sources previously told The Post.
