Just
because you have dogs, it doesn’t necessarily mean that your home is burglar
free.
On
April 18, 2013, armed robbery group members robbed a resident from Barangay
Mendez Crossing East, Tagaytay City, Cavite Province. According to the resident, he was awakened by
a strange noise outside his bedroom and were quite surprise how come all his
guard dogs were not barking. Suspicious on strange noise, he got his gun and
went out to inspect the house perimeter. The resident caught the suspects in
the act of stealing some personal belongings which prompted him to fire a
warning shot. Astounded with the warning shot, the suspects fired back at him.
The quick thinking robbers decided to escape when they noticed that the owner
of the house prepared to defend his family and property. The suspects hurriedly
escape taking with them few valuables through a waiting unmarked vehicle. After
the robbers left the area, the homeowner was shocked to see all five guard dogs
were poisoned. No suspects were arrested.

On
March 4, 2013 at about 2:20AM, unidentified armed men robbed and killed pet
dogs of a couple in Barangay Guinhawa North Tagaytay City in Cavite Province.
While the victims were sleeping in their bedroom, they heard a strange noise
outside their room. A man threatened the victims with a gun as soon as they
went out of the room to look into the strange noise. Both victims were hogtied
as soon as intruders emptied their vault and hurriedly escaped with documents,
cash and valuables. Tagaytay City police discovered that the couple’s two guard
dogs were poisoned. No suspects were arrested.
Nowadays,
criminals are very cunning individuals. Robbery groups are getting more
aggressive and dangerous in these present times. Intruders, who normally scale
perimeter walls, target homes with guard dogs. These homeowners, who feel
secured with their dogs, are being complacent that they will not become
thieves’ target because of their dogs. Kurukuro thinks that burglars, who
resorted to poisoning dogs, have specifically targeted a particular home they wish
to break into. They know (must be through a reliable source?) that they can get
more cash and valuables compared to their other potential targets.
