The millionaire’s attack occurred on farms number 419 and 218/Web
The tranquility of the El Peligro countryside was shattered last Monday when two men broke into a farm and carried out a violent robbery. The newspaper learned that the subjects arrived in a black car with tinted windows at 4:19 p.m. and 2:18 p.m., identifying themselves as wholesale buyers of eggs. This ruse was enough to get through the gates, and once there they deployed weapons, reduced personnel, and tied up employees. The scene took the form of a sudden confinement, with short orders and calculated movements.
The owner, a 58-year-old businessman, was locked in his office with the door locked and an alarm activated, making it impossible for him to have any contact with the outside world. From that involuntary confinement, he heard how the intruders searched the premises for money and valuables. They stole seven million pesos, cell phones, camera DVRs, gate control equipment, and finally a van from the facility, a vehicle that they quickly fled without leaving a trace.
Outside, everyday life in the countryside continued as if nothing had happened, and I didn’t even notice the tense threads that held the scene together. The color information turned out to be that they had broken several boxes of eggs before leaving, perhaps blinded by the meager loot they had managed to collect.
