Elche's goalkeeper and captain, Matías Dituro, experienced a terrifying home invasion and robbery in Spain on Friday night. A teammate of Israeli footballer Roy Revivo, Dituro shared a harrowing account of the incident on social media, aiming to warn others.
According to Dituro's post, three masked individuals armed with burglary tools violently entered his home around 8:45 PM with the intent to steal, while a fourth accomplice stood guard outside. Dituro arrived home with his two young children, aged six and eight, at 8:49 PM, unaware the intruders were still inside. He received a crucial phone call from his wife, who alerted him to the situation. This warning, combined with a neighbor's quick action after hearing noises and confirming the break-in via security cameras, prevented Dituro and his children from entering the house.
Dituro described the moments as "real terror" for him and his children, who pleaded with him not to go inside. The robbers fled shortly after, leaving the house in disarray and taking some belongings. Dituro emphasized that while material possessions can be replaced, the loss of peace of mind and sense of security at home is far more difficult to recover.
He expressed deep gratitude to his neighbor for the swift response and to everyone offering support, stating that the phone call ensured his family's safety. Dituro also conveyed his trust in the authorities to identify and prosecute those responsible for the damage.
