Police Seeking Suspects in Hollywood Home-Invasion Robbery
Police Friday were seeking suspects in a home-invasion robbery in Hollywood.
The crime occurred about 10:45 p.m. Thursday in the 8100 block of Mannix Drive, the Los Angeles Police Department reported.
According to the preliminary investigation, three suspects described only as males were involved in the robbery, and they fled with an undisclosed amount of valuables, police said.
One of three people inside the residence suffered a laceration, but no serious injuries were reported, police said.
Surveillance video captured some of the incident, showing two masked suspects standing outside the front door. The victims said the suspects were armed and eventually gained access by breaking a side window.
The surveillance video also shows the suspects running out of the home through the front door carrying several items. One of the victims was allegedly pistol-whipped in the face during the robbery.
According to KTLA, Ishmael Khan, who described himself as a social media influencer from Dubai, was among the three victims.
“They knew who I was,” Khan told the station. “So, they found me on Instagram. They found out where I was. I don’t know who it was. Maybe it was some bad friends, some enemies.”
The thieves allegedly grabbed a Rolex watch and other items worth an estimated $20,000 before leaving in a getaway car, according to the report.
