New wave of robberies in Xàbia: four homes assaulted in the same night
The scattered areas of the municipality of Xàbia continue to be the focus of thieves. The number of broken-in houses continues to grow and the feeling of insecurity increases among the residents.
This week there have been four new robberies, in the same night, in a rural area of Xàbia, in Los Cerezos. Four houses that the assailants entered in order to take small items of value such as jewelry or cash, the only loot they are looking for according to victims of these assaults, which can be carried in their own pockets and sold quickly.
On this occasion, and according to residents of the affected area, the robberies occurred at dawn, between 1:00 and 4:00. The robbers usually take advantage of the absence of the tenants of the houses to access through a window or door with simple locks, although the fact that the house has bars, an alarm or a camera does not scare them either. But on this occasion, in two of the assaulted houses, their tenants remained inside sleeping.
In a property, the friends of the alien accessed through a tilting open window. Apparently, as they have denounced, they took jewelry while the occupants slept, luckily without any other incident.
In another of the robberies, as the neighbors explain, one of the thieves tried to block the kitchen window, the owners woke up, turned on the lights and pressed the alarm button. The thieves fled.
And despite the fact that local police officers and the Civil Guard went to the area, the four robberies leave a feeling of insecurity among the neighbors. A situation that is repeated, in the same way, in the Montgó, Les Valls and Tossals area, where the wave of robberies has continued in recent weeks.
The residents of the rural areas of Xàbia ask for more surveillance, more police presence to combat and stop this wave of robberies. Likewise, and in view of these facts, the residents study what measures to put in place and work together to try to sound the alarm in any suspicious situation.
