It was a shocking night for WNBA standout Sabrina Ionescu and her husband, ex-NFL lineman Hroniss Grasu, when masked intruders stormed their Los Angeles-area mansion and swiped a jaw-dropping $60,000 worth of designer handbags. The fashionable Liberty guard, still glowing from her spring 2024 wedding, just became the newest star targeted in a wave of brazen high-profile heists sweeping Southern California.
The break-in unfolded Monday, December 15, just after 8 p.m., local police confirmed. The celebrity couple was nowhere near the scene as two thieves—faces shielded by ski masks—allegedly used a tool to shatter a glass door and slip inside the empty residence. Security alarms blared, but the duo made a quick getaway, vanishing into the night with pricey accessories in tow. Surveillance footage is under review, but as of Tuesday, authorities say no arrests have been made.

Although the LAPD remained tight-lipped on the full inventory of stolen goods, local TV station NBC 4 Los Angeles reported the crooks snagged an armful of luxury handbags valued at a cool sixty grand. PEOPLE obtained documentation tying the property to Ionescu and Grasu. Officers are now combing over every second of security video, hoping to unmask the culprits.
Ionescu, a superstar who became the No. 1 draft pick for the New York Liberty in 2020 and has racked up all-WNBA honors since 2022, was happily celebrating newlywed life after Grasu, a long-time NFL vet and 2015 Chicago Bears draft selection, proposed in January 2023. The couple tied the knot in March 2024—an “unforgettable” moment, Ionescu later gushed. Grasu’s last NFL stint was in 2023 with the Raiders, putting their athletic journey and golden off-season at center stage—before criminals intruded on their peace.
The Liberty phenom and her husband are reeling from the shocking burglary, while LAPD detectives work around the clock to catch the masked bandits responsible for this luxury loot grab. Stay tuned for updates as the investigation unfolds.
