On Wednesday 8th May at about 1700hrs local time we heard a commotion coming from the next door neighbours, the same neighbour where the apparent burglary took place.
The incident lasted for approximately one hour and involved several men and cars, which were used to ram other vehicles. During this period we remained in our house the majority of the time with the doors locked and saw some of the commotion in the street on our gate CCTV.
After this was all over and whilst I was looking for one of our dogs which had fled during the commotion, I was approached by a Guardia Civil Officer from Las Torres de Cotillas, who was investigating the incident.
Having confirmed my identity, I explained that we saw very little as the majority of the time we remained indoors. He said there might be a requirement to look at our CCTV footage and took my telephone number.
The next day I received a phone call from the Guardia Civil asking to view our CCTV.
We are very cautious as to who we let into our home being in this situation, so I shall Whatsapp, Email or go in person with our CCTV footage which should satisfy the Guardia Civil.
The CCTV footage is of poor quality and is not suitable for facial recognition or reading car licence number plates so I feel it will be of little use to them.
I am putting this on our blog on record because I am concerned that if we let anyone in, it is a potential risk to Amanda’s life.
