Two masked intruders armed with shotguns stormed a $3.5 million hillside mansion on Sunday night, terrorizing two occupants that were inside.

The dramatic break-in unfolded around 11:27 p.m. on November 8 along the 7700 block of Torreyson Drive in the Hollywood Hills.

According to the Los Angeles Police Department, officers rushed to the address following reports of a “hot prowl” burglary, a police term for a break-in committed while residents are inside.

Two male suspects wearing hoodies and ski masks entered the multi-level home brandishing at least one shotgun, police confirmed.

The intruders confronted a female resident and demanded she open a safe. During the encounter, one of the armed men allegedly choked her, according to KTLA.

The female victim managed to break away and run out of the home alongside a security guard. Two teenage boys inside the residence also fled into the night, the news outlet reported.

Officers recovered an abandoned shotgun outside the residence, though police have not yet confirmed whether the weapon belonged to the intruders.

By the time law enforcement sealed off the street, the gunmen had slipped away. An LAPD spokesperson confirmed the suspects fled in a vehicle in an unknown direction.

LAPD officers completed an initial burglary report at the scene, and the case has been handed over to detectives for a full criminal investigation.

Authorities could not confirm whether the intruders managed to take any valuables from the home before fleeing.
