The suspects, described by police as black males in their 20s, stride up the driveway and accost the woman.
They “demanded that she hand over property,” LAPD explained in a statement.
“Fearing for her and her child’s safety, the victim complied and allowed (one) suspect to take her diaper bags and bottle cooler,” police said. “The two suspects proceed to run into a waiting vehicle that was parked across the street from the victim’s home and flee northbound from the location.”
Local residents say they are concerned about rising numbers of robberies and dangerous crimes in affluent neighborhoods.
