Family shaken after intruders ransack Southern California home
A Chatsworth family is reeling after burglars ransacked their home while they were visiting a relative in the hospital earlier this week, getting away cash, jewelry and lifetime's worth of sentimental keepsakes.
The unsettling April 21st ordeal unfolded at around 7:40 p.m. in the 22000 block of Kinzie Street, officials with the Los Angeles Police Department confirmed to KTLA.
Home surveillance cameras captured three suspects wearing hoodies and gloves exiting a dark-colored, possibly gray, Nissan Rogue parked at the curb, with a fourth suspect remaining behind the wheel of the vehicle.
The intruders move to the back of the home through a side gate, where the homeowners, who did not want to be identified, said they shattered a sliding glass door to gain access to the home.
Once inside the residence, the burglary crew ransacked each of the bedrooms, stealing whatever cash and jewelry they could find. After approximately 13 minutes, cameras captured the three suspects leaving, one carrying a backpack, another with what appeared to be a briefcase and the third with a sack filled with the family's property.
$4M in stolen cargo recovered from South American theft crew in L.A.
After the video was shared with community members, the homeowners were told that the crew was speaking Armenian over a walkie-talkie while exiting home, though police have not confirmed that detail with KTLA.
The intruders left the way they got in and fled the area in the Nissan Rogue.
While it's unclear just how much the suspects got away with, the shaken homeowners only sharing that they were 'heartbroken, as the thieves took everything my parents had worked their entire lives for.'
Anyone who might recognize the intruders is asked to call the Los Angeles Police Department. Those wishing to remain anonymous can call the L.A. Regional Crime Stoppers Hotline at 800-222-8477.

Watch: Trump Tower occupied by anti-ICE protesters
Credit: Freedom News TV/X Activists temporarily occupied Trump Tower to protest the arrest and deportation of illegal migrants. Around 20 protesters sat on the ground floor of the New York skyscraper, protesting against ICE raids aimed at detaining illegal migrants. Such raids led to protests and violent clashes in California over the weekend. Footage on social media showed the group holding signs including 'defend the constitution' and 'no job site raids' alongside pictures of recently deported migrants. After refusing to move, they were quickly detained by police who used zip ties to restrain their hands before removing them from Trump Tower, once the primary residence of the president, and placing them into waiting NYPD vans. One sign held by a protester read 'free Kilmar,' referring to Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who was returned to the US last week after being mistakenly deported to El Salvador's notorious mega prison. The US Supreme Court ordered the Trump administration to 'facilitate' Mr Abrego Garcia's return. The White House initially refused, insisting Mr Abrego Garcia is a member of the notorious South American gang MS-13, allegations his wife and lawyer have denied. The demonstration comes after a weekend of violence in Los Angeles where masked protesters smashed and torched self-driving electric cars in riots sparked by immigration raids in the city. Credit: Reuters Confrontations began when dozens of protesters gathered outside a federal detention centre demanding the release of 44 people arrested by federal immigration authorities across Los Angeles on Friday. So far, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is averaging about 1,600 arrests per day. On Monday, Mr Trump suggested California Governor Gavin Newsom should be arrested over the violence engulfing LA. 'Hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants, many of them prisoners, are taking up your health care. They're taking up your space in schools, they're taking up your hospitals,' Mr Trump later told reporters. 'And in many cases, they're criminals, and we have to do something about it and we're doing something about it. 'Until we went in, if we didn't do the job that place would be burning down, just like the houses, burned down, they were in big trouble last night.'

Photos: Los Angeles endures days of protests over immigration raids
Monday marks the fourth straight day of public pushback over federal immigration raids in the Los Angeles area, and protests over the weekend turned violent as the National Guard was called in by President Donald Trump, a move that drew the ire of L.A. Mayor Karen Bass and Gov. Gavin Newsom. ICE agents conducted their first raids in downtown L.A. and the Westlake District on Friday, prompting a large crowd to unsuccessfully prevent people from being detained. The following day, a raid in Paramount drew protesters there and in neighboring Compton before the demonstrations made their way to DTLA. Los Angeles school officials say campuses will operate as normal amid immigration raids, violent protests Sunday, however, was a different story, as protesters took to the streets and hurled projectiles – including fireworks and Lime scooters – at law enforcement officers, including Los Angeles Police Department and CHP officers as well as L.A. County Sheriff's Department deputies; none of those three agencies enforce federal immigration laws. Protesters were also seen setting cars on fire and looting businesses. As a result of Sunday's protests, more than 40 people were arrested and nearly a dozen law enforcement officers were injured. The fourth day of protests was already underway Tuesday morning as a rally was held demanding the release of union leader David Huerta, who was arrested on Friday by ICE agents. More protesters were seen in the streets of downtown L.A. by 11 a.m. ICE, CBP agents seen in southern Los Angeles County Just before 11:45 a.m., L.A. Mayor Karen Bass advised demonstrators to protest peacefully and follow in the city's 'proud history of peaceful protest for immigrants' rights.' 'We must continue that legacy — don't fall into the Trump administration's trap,' Bass said on X. 'Protest peacefully. Looting and vandalism will not be tolerated.' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
