Vacation rental robbed by 5 armed men in East Hollywood, LAPD searching for suspects

Authorities are searching for five men who police say broke into a vacation rental home in East Hollywood and tied up six people inside early Tuesday morning.

All men were wearing dark clothing and ski masks and were armed with guns when they entered the home located in the 400 block of North Heliotrope Drive at 4:07 a.m., according to the Los Angeles Police Department.

LAPD initially described the home as an Airbnb but a spokesperson for the company later confirmed there is no listing at that address.

A witness said she and her husband were in their bedroom when they heard loud footsteps and her friend shouting. The couple realized they were being robbed when they opened the door. The witness said six of her friends were zip-tied. 

Authorities said the suspects took an undisclosed amount of property before leaving in an unknown direction.

No other information was released on the possible suspects. 

No injuries were reported. The incident remains under investigation.
