Gill, a 59-year-old who has resided in the Vega Baja for two decades, was the victim of a brutal assault in her own residence on the Orihuela Costa.
The woman is currently experiencing a state of shock as a result of a violent robbery that occurred in broad daylight on June 26th. Two individuals dressed in black approached her house, assaulted her, and stole her jewellery.
The assailants entered her residence in the Playa Flamenca area at approximately 2:00 p.m., seized her by the neck, stripped her of her jewellery, and stomped on her limbs before fleeing.
Security cameras in Orihuela Costa captured thieves
The victim herself described the incident in a Facebook post that was shared by the Crime Watch Orihuela Costa Neighbourhood Watch account. In the footage she shared, she describes the moment of the attack with a visibly shaken appearance.
“We are not even secure in our homes.” She recalls that they took her jewellery off her neck while she was being booted.
“The Local Police arrived and enquired as to whether I had secured the door.” She laments, “They simply instructed me to visit a medical centre to obtain a report and then report it to the Guardia Civil.”
She advised his neighbours to exercise “extreme caution, even within their own residences,” in order to prevent a recurrence of the incident.
“I never imagined that this would happen to me, despite the fact that I have lived here for two decades.” She concludes, “I am frightened both within and outside of my home.”
This horrific incident should serve as a wake-up call for the entire community, according to the Crime Watch Orihuela Costa account, which has become a portal for sharing experiences and evidence of crimes in the area.
By day and by night, Robbers’ Alley is a notorious location
“We strongly encourage all residents to report any suspicious activity to the Guardia Civil or Local Police immediately, to lock their doors and gates, and to take care of their neighbours,” they emphasise.
The situation has reached such a critical point in the region that residents are compelled to defend themselves.
The issue has prompted the majority of individuals to install security cameras, even if it means violating data protection regulations.
Some individuals have acquired weapons to defend themselves, while others have purchased dogs that they leave outside at night as a warning system.
