Benny Blanco‘s mom, Sandra Levin, was the victim of a scary robbery attempt at her Studio City, Calif. home earlier this week. According to ABC7, police said Levin was unharmed after burglars smashed their way into her home while she was there alone. Authorities did not identify Levin by name, but neighbors and property records confirmed it was her home.
Per procedure, a spokesperson for the LAPD confirmed the address of the incident and the details about the break-in, but did not identify Levin as the homeowner when contacted by Billboard on Wednesday morning (Nov. 26).
Officials reported that Levin, who was home alone, barricaded herself in the bathroom and called 911 after she heard the suspects enter through a shattered sliding glass door. NBC 4 reported that Levin heard the intruders walk upstairs and open the bedroom door and when she peeked out of the bathroom they saw her and ran off. By the time police responded around 9:15 p.m., the LAPD said the suspects had already fled the scene after Levin said they kicked the bathroom door off its hinges during the break-in.
Before making their escape, though, they reportedly ransacked several rooms and got away with some undisclosed property, though it was not known at press time what they stole. It’s unclear if the men, who have not yet been identified, were armed and there is no description of them, though the LAPD said the suspects were two men wearing dark clothing and masks. The LAPD spokesperson told Billboard that the investigation is now in the hands of detectives and that at press time no arrests had been made.
At press time it also did not appear that Benny Blanco had responded to the incident on his socials.
