Three masked armed robbers ransacked the multimillion-dollar mansion of influencer Florence Mirsky in Los Angeles’ San Fernando Valley early Thursday, leaving two house-sitters zip-tied, according to police.
The incident occurred around 1:30 a.m. on the 3800 block of Sherwood Place, a Los Angeles Police Department spokesperson confirmed to Fox News Digital. Two female victims, reportedly a housekeeper and a friend, were sleeping when they were "awakened by the lights being turned on inside the residence."
The suspects entered the bedroom, "pointing a handgun and rifle at them," police said.
The suspects tied up the victims, ransacked the residence and then fled in an unknown direction in a blue sedan, police added.
