Home Invasion/Assault in Volcan

12:30 Jul 20 2013 Near the High School Road (Calle 5a Oeste)

Description
HOME INVASION

About 12:30 on Saturday June 20, Ken Reid was called to the gate by a young neighbor, who kept him talking while two other young men, wearing handkerchiefs over their faces, entered the house by the unlocked kitchen door. Anne confronted them. They knocked her down and put a chokehold on her so she couldn´t call out. She lost consciousness.

They took a cell phone and a Kindle from the bedroom. When Ken started back to the house from the gate, they ran away. One, wearing a white cap, went over the back fence.
The other, bareheaded, ran out around the fence and went out at the front corner behind the casita, bending the fence.

We called the hot line twice but had difficulty getting through. Ken then called Azel, who called the hot line. Rodney then called Ken back and also called the police. Two men from Bugaba came promptly, asked if Anne needed medical attention, made a brief inspection and noted what had been taken, and
then left.

Friends then came to offer support, assist with finding a doctor, and make plans for further action.

How many dogs at that house??? Apparently NONE!!! When will you people wake up. ADOPT a dog for your security and they will give back unconditional love.

Most Panamanians are deathly afraid of dogs, even little ones. Best investment you'll ever make. Most of the time they're free.

Very sad news I hope she is doing better. Wonder why crime is increasing so much here?

It is increasing everywhere.

Jim, "YOU PEOPLE" ?? Having a dog is nice but trust me, something like this could happen to you too, with or without dogs! Sometimes....having a dog is NOT the right solution for everyone.
