Elche goalkeeper and captain Matías Dituro described a harrowing home invasion by four armed intruders on Friday night, November 26th. Dituro, a teammate of Israeli footballer Roy Revivo, shared a chilling account on social media detailing the terrifying experience.
Around 8:45 PM, three masked individuals armed with burglary tools violently entered Dituro's home with the intent to steal, while a fourth accomplice stood guard outside. Dituro arrived home shortly after with his two young children, aged six and eight, unaware the criminals were still inside. His wife managed to warn him by phone about the unfolding situation.
Thanks to his wife's warning and a quick response from a neighbor who heard the commotion and confirmed the break-in via security cameras, Dituro and his children did not enter the house. "My children burst into tears and begged me not to leave the car and to drive away. These were a few minutes of real terror that we will never forget," Dituro wrote.
The thieves fled shortly after, leaving the house in disarray and taking some of their belongings. Dituro stated that while material possessions can be replaced, the peace of mind and sense of security at home will be much harder to restore. He expressed gratitude to his neighbor for his swift action and to those offering support, emphasizing that his family is safe, which is the most important thing. Dituro also voiced his trust in the authorities to identify and prosecute those responsible.
