David Muir broke into his evening newscast to report on a “terrifying” break-in at the home of Benny Blanco’s mother, who is also Selena Gomez’s mother-in-law.<\/p>\n
Sandra Levin’s Studio City residence was targeted by burglars during the night, officials confirmed. Muir<\/a> announced on television, “A scare for Selena Gomez<\/a>‘s mother-in-law during a home invasion, masked intruders breaking in.”<\/p>\n Law enforcement verified that Levin was inside her home when the crime took place. “Police say Gomez’s mother-in-law, Sandra Levin, was at home in Studio City, California<\/a>. Two men in masks broke in, and she barricaded herself upstairs and was able to call 9-1-1. The men fled before police arrived. Levin was not hurt,” Muir added.<\/p>\n The Los Angeles Police Department received the burglary report at approximately 9:15 p.m. Monday evening. The caller informed dispatchers that three men had smashed through a sliding glass door at the property.<\/p>\n The perpetrators escaped before officers could respond to the scene. “The home of Benny Blanco<\/a>‘s mother was burglarized overnight,” an LAPD representative confirmed to KABC, the local ABC<\/a> affiliate. Authorities stated that the criminals searched through the house and made off with belongings, though specifics about the stolen items haven’t been disclosed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n “Do I feel safe? Much less so than when we moved here, like, 27 years ago,” Studio City resident Tim Knipe told KABC. “Now, not so much. We check our locks to make sure the alarm’s on. It’s a much different life.”<\/p>\n The break-in occurs during the ongoing high-profile relationship of Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco. The pair, who recently got engaged, have typically maintained their personal affairs away from public scrutiny.<\/p>\n While they sometimes post snippets of their relationship on social media, neither Gomez nor Blanco has publicly addressed the home invasion.<\/p>\n
