A large-scale robbery that took place in Havana has sparked outrage on social media, after a Cuban mother reported that thieves broke into her home during the early morning hours and ransacked everything, taking items of high value as well as a husky dog that the family considers an essential part of their home.
The affected individual, identified as Annie Zúñiga, shared a video on her social media where she recounted, visibly distressed, that the thieves forced open the garage door and took "absolutely everything" she had stored there.
He explained that the criminals broke in and took a massive amount of belongings, including a generator, children's bicycles, a skateboard, merchandise from the restaurant and café, boxes of cups, glasses, and dishes, as well as food and other supplies.
Zúñiga also detailed that her husband lost numerous car parts, work tools, and spare parts, which further exacerbates the economic blow. "The damage assessed in monetary terms is incalculable," she lamented.
In addition, he mentioned that he left inside the vehicle his wallet with personal money, business funds, dollars he was saving to buy a generator for his mother, identity documents, bank cards, and a laptop.
"Who in their right mind would steal two bags of bread?" he commented in the video, emphasizing the level of impunity and the lack of control exhibited by the thieves.
But what has shaken those who have followed the case the most is that the criminals also took Luna, a one-year-old white Siberian husky, whom the woman described as an animal of immense sentimental value.
"Her owner has passed away, the person who gave her to me is no longer in this world, and asked me to always take care of Luna," she explained, moved, assuring that her young children are devastated by the animal's disappearance.
Zúñiga believes that the dog was stolen to be sold, as it is an expensive and highly sought-after breed.
In a post on Facebook, she asked for help to get it back and specified that the theft occurred in Mantilla, Arroyo Naranjo municipality, in Havana.
"I have two small children who are crying for her. If they took her from you to sell, I will return your money; I am paying whatever it takes for information that helps me find her," she wrote in her desperate plea.
The poster shared by the family describes Luna as a white Siberian husky with blue eyes who responds to her name, and it also provides a phone number for anyone who may have information about her whereabouts.
This case once again highlights the rising insecurity in Cuba, where home burglaries, assaults, and violent incidents have become part of everyday life, while many families feel unprotected and without real resources to confront crime.
It is not the first time that the woman has publicly exposed alarming situations in her community. In 2025, she went viral after posting images of the deterioration of young people in her neighborhood under the effects of the so-called "chemical", a synthetic drug that has devastated vulnerable sectors and fueled micro-trafficking in various areas of the country.
