Security Guard Distracted By Woman In Short Shorts Robbed By 4 Men

BEVERLY CREST (CBSLA) — A security guard was distracted by a woman in short shorts before being ambushed by robbers, who got into the multi-million home in Beverly Crest he was guarding by using his gate remote.

The robbery happened at about 1:30 a.m. at a home in the 1200 block of Tower Road. Police say four men and a woman ambushed the guard, who had been in his car.

"A female black wearing short shorts and a furry jacket distracted the guard," Los Angeles police spokeswoman Officer Norma Eisenman said.

The robbers, who were armed with guns, zip tied the guard and robbed him, taking two guns, a knife, a flashlight and his cash. They then took the guard's remote for the security gate, went inside the home and took property from inside. No one was home at the time.

The group of robbers were described as wearing all black. Their getaway vehicle was described as a black and maroon minivan, and they are considered armed and dangerous.

It's not the first time the $12 million home has seen police activity this year. Police were called to location back in January, the morning after the Golden Globes Awards, on the report of a sexual assault. No arrests were made at that time, but a naked woman was reported seen running from the home.

The home is owned by an LLC, and its current resident is not known.
