The windows were permanently shuttered and the doors were secured. Not even access to the garden was permitted for the kids.
According to local accounts cited by El Mundo, the father usually wore a mask when he walked to the property’s gate to collect mail and takeout deliveries.
“One of the children knelt on the grass and ‘touched it with amazement’ after being released,” the police added.
Following the raid, Lozano said, “We have restored the lives of three children.” Even the neighbors were unaware that the kids were living in the home since.
They were kept so secret throughout the years. After the children were found, the husband and wife team are now being detained.
