Two gunmen who beat a resident during a home invasion robbery in the Hollywood Hills remained at large Sunday.
The suspects — one wearing a ski mask, the other a bandana — entered a home in the 2600 block of Astral Drive about 3:35 a.m. Saturday, according to Officer Rosario Herrera of the Los Angeles Police Department’s Media Relations section.
The suspects demanded property and a victim was beaten with a gun before the duo fled in a Nissan Maxima, Herrera said. The vehicle was found nearby — in the area of Nichols Canyon Road and La Canstana Drive — with some of the stolen property inside, along with the ski mask and bandana worn by the suspects, police said.
The victim was taken to a hospital and was in good condition, Herrera said.
Another person in the home suffered a sprained ankle trying to run away, according to ABC7, which reported that the suspects made off with a large amount of marijuana that was believed to have been grown in the home.
Herrera said she could not confirm the reported ankle injury or marijuana theft.
