A central Alberta family is speaking out after a mother of four was allegedly beaten and robbed of her SUV right in front of her home this week.

Nicole Safron said her sister, Jolene, 29, is suffering not only physical wounds but emotional wounds from what happened Wednesday near her home in Eckville.

“She’s emotionally pretty upset — her home had been broken into the previous week as well,” she said. “She feels unsafe in her own home, she’s very anxious, she’s having trouble sleeping.”

The incident happened last Wednesday, when Safron said two women were dropped off in front of her sister’s home by someone in a truck.

“The women who were dropped off were carrying a blue bag,” said Safron. “(My sister) ended up sounding an alarm and called people for help and calling 911.

“She decided to get into her vehicle and see where they were until police get there. There’s always a concern that once police get there, they can’t find the (suspects).”
