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.

Time for more people to carry concealed.
Coming soon to a barrio near you.
This was a home invasion. Concealed would not have done any good. Time to have in hand!
Those illegal Amish again!
We don’t need no stinkin’ fence.

The war is coming.
And this was just down the road a bit.

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.

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.
