It is understood the Californian and her husband Hroniss Grasu were not at home at the time of the shocking incident. <\/p>\n

Reports state LAPD were called to the property around 8pm to investigate a burglary.<\/p>\n

Two suspects used a tool to smash the back door glass and break in. <\/p>\n

They then \u201cransacked the location and took the victim\u2019s property\u201d.<\/p>\n

The police did not confirm exactly what items were stolen.<\/p>\n

However, NBC reported the criminals escaped with several luxury handbags worth more than $60,000.<\/p>\n

The pair fled the scene in a vehicle in an unknown direction. <\/p>\n
