In a chilling incident, a masked burglar entered the home of Pilar and Alex, stealing 300 euros and, disturbingly, inspecting Pilar as she slept. The couple discovered the burglary after reviewing CCTV footage due to the missing money. The footage revealed the intruder standing over their bed, repeatedly shining a torch on Pilar's body for 32 minutes.
Pilar, who was sleeping naked, felt violated and described the intruder as a "sick predator." She told local media, "He entered our bedroom eight times to look at my private parts." Her partner, Alex, expressed concerns about the burglar's intentions, fearing they were not just to steal but to prey on Pilar. The couple's 18-year-old son was also in the house at the time, sleeping in a nearby room.
The burglar, dubbed the "San Pedro Prowler," entered through an open terrace door, avoiding making noise by removing his shoes. Despite the presence of valuable items, the thief only took cash, leading the couple to suspect his motives were more sinister.
Local police are investigating the incident, analyzing the security footage to identify the suspect. No arrests have been made yet. Pilar is undergoing psychological treatment to cope with the trauma, experiencing nightmares and increased anxiety. She said, "I know I'm going to get over it, but it's not easy."
The incident has prompted warnings for residents in the area to enhance their home security systems. The community remains on alert as the investigation continues.
