A dawn intrusion in Sangonera la Seca, a municipality in Murcia, Spain, led to a violent but ultimately non-fatal incident as five hooded men entered a residence. The authorities confirmed that the house’s occupants were present when the break-in occurred.
The events unfolded around 3:00 a.m. on La Locia Road, with masked individuals arriving by a vehicle and wielding firearms. Neighbors nearby reported the disturbance and provided details about what they witnessed as the assailants moved through the vicinity. Inside the home were a couple and several young children, including daughters, who were present at the time.
Although the intruders brandished their weapons to frighten those inside, they did not fire a shot. There were no injuries among the residents. The burglars seized mobile phones from the house and then fled in the vehicle they had arrived in. Information from the security forces indicates that the primary target of the raid was the property, with the thieves taking only the mobile devices.
A neighbor who heard the commotion became alarmed and alerted the authorities. The State Security Forces and Troops remained vigilant in response, noting that the neighbor initially feared the attackers might have harmed a person in the home. This prompted a rapid escalation of precautionary measures, although the alert proved to be a false alarm. The incident occurred roughly a year after a separate case in Murcia where a man barricaded himself in a house following the kidnapping of his sister, a situation that briefly drew intense local attention.
At present, the Benemérita continues its investigation and aims to identify and apprehend the suspects soon, bringing them before the judiciary on charges related to violent robbery. Investigators have only begun to piece together the event, but prevailing theories suggest the attackers planned the entry in advance and had precise knowledge of which residence would be targeted, indicating deliberate planning rather than a spontaneous crime.
