A Hollywood Hills home reportedly valued at nearly $11 million was the target of a home-invasion robbery Thursday night.
The 5,600 square-foot home, in the 1700 block of North Doheny Drive (map), leased for $50,000 per month, according to the website of real estate agent Ben Bacal.
Neighbors said the victims are a wealthy family from Saudi Arabia moved in several months ago, though authorities would not confirm who lives at the home.
The residents have a $2 million Bugatti sports car, according to neighbors.
Bacal had listed the house for sale for $10.9 million, according to its listing on freshpalace.com, which stated that the home was crafted by European designer Luca Colombo.
The robbers entered through an unlocked door and made off with jewelry and other valuables from a safe, Los Angeles Police Department officials said.
There were people inside the property at the time of the incident, but no one was seriously injured during the robbery, which took place at about 6 p.m., Detective Scott Smith said.
