Police believe several watches were among the items stolen.
Authorities are searching for a group of armed men who broke into a home in the Sawtelle neighborhood of West Los Angeles Tuesday night and robbed it. The suspects, brandishing at least one handgun, broke into the home while two people were inside, Los Angeles police said."I was rushed by 3 men. Two of them holding guns that I could see," said the victim who asked to remain anonymous.
It happened near the corner of Butler and Mississippi Avenues in West LA after the victim walked his dog late Tuesday night. He believes that the suspects jumped over a neighbor's wall to get around his gates."I'm in the watch business. I don't own the business. I do the online ads for the company that is an online seller. I always got some watches at home because I'm doing research for our ads.
This is the second-known case of a person in the luxury watch business being robbed in the West LA area in recent weeks. Police say that the suspects were wearing masks. The victim says he didn't put up a fight because the masked men had guns. "One of them went up, grabbed my wife, tied her up with a zip tie, and forced me to take them up into the room where I had my watches, and they basically took the watches and they were gone, two minutes later," he said. He has a warning for the community,"just be vigilant. There's a lot of nasty people out there. You just have to be aware of your surroundings."It was unclear if the crime was related to an attempted home invasion that occurred at about 1:20 a.m.
