MAKE THE FIRST MOVE

I have also witnessed another neighbor being attacked at night in a similar event, but in this case, the robbers couldn’t get into his house for the iron gates were too strong to be broken. And as they were struggling to break open, the police were alerted and came fully armed to shoot at the
