PROGRESO LAKES -- Two masked men armed with machetes and a gun robbed a woman last night in this subdivision near the Rio Grande, sheriff's deputies said.

Sheriff's deputies responded to a call about an aggravated robbery south of Military Highway near Farm-to-Market 1015 in the Progreso Lakes subdivision at 10:28 p.m. Monday.

Two hooded men armed with machetes and a gun allegedly robbed a woman outside a house. The victim told deputies the men made off on foot with her cell phone, some jewelry and $30 in cash.

The men, whose faces were covered, wore black sweat shirts and blue jeans.

This was a home invasion. Concealed would not have done any good. Time to have in hand!

Actually, I read “outside the house.” Either way, gotta have something handy.

As has been noted, a fence would help too, along with firepower.

The story was wrong. It was not outside. They were inside.

Two hooded men armed with machetes and a gun...

Time to enact a ban on machetes?(/sarc)

The Sheriff was quoted as saying, “Even though we have recovered several half-eaten tacos dropped by the men, they spoke in fluent Spanish, and they smelled as though they hadn’t bathed in ten years, we believe they are white Americans!”

I would put an “LOL” but sadly, you are probably correct.
