Hooded individuals storm a home in Cárdenas and injure residents; one of them is in serious condition

The police arrested two men as the suspected perpetrators of a violent assault in a house in Boca de Camarioca, in Cárdenas, Matanzas, where they attacked the couple residing in the home, injuring both, one of them severely, according to official reports.

The Facebook profile “Con Todos La Victoria”, linked to the Ministry of the Interior (Minint), reported the recent incident and the capture of those responsible, identified as Diosmey de Jesús Hidalgo Rodríguez and Manuel Alexander Nimer Paz.

The note details that both individuals "with their faces covered, violently broke into the victims' home" and, "once inside, threatened and assaulted the resident couple, causing injuries to both, one of which is serious".

The assailants stole a significant amount of money: 135,000 CUP and 4,000 USD; the recording equipment from the security cameras, cell phones, gold jewelry, and several knives.

According to the publication, "the effective and prompt action of the police authorities" allowed for the immediate detention of the thieves in the Bellotex area of Matanzas, and "several of the stolen goods were recovered."

The detainees have a extensive criminal record, with incidents of burglary and breaking and entering, the source emphasized, and warned that both will face justice. The investigation into the case remains active.

In the comments of the post, family members and friends of the victims identified the person in critical condition as Amado Álamo, a detail that has not been confirmed by the authorities.

Numerous individuals questioned the lack of strict enforcement of laws against criminals who commit violent crimes and endanger the lives of citizens.

They also urged the authorities to impose the full weight of justice against the two individuals detained for the recent assault and robbery in Boca de Camarioca, which could have ended fatally, as has occurred in extreme violence incidents reported in various provinces.

In Cuba, there is an escalating crime wave that keeps the population on edge, due to the relentless rise of serious crimes such as murders, violent assaults, and drug trafficking, which are increasing the insecurity across the country.

Citizens are calling for more drastic action from the police to curb crime and for harsher criminal penalties against those responsible.
