Officers responded to the home at approximately 8:15 p.m. for a burglary investigation. Two suspects smashed through a rear glass door to enter the residence. Several handbags worth more than $60,000 were stolen from the home, according to ESPN.
Ionescu and her husband, Hroniss Grasu, were not present at the time of the break-in. The police investigation is ongoing, and no arrests have been made.
The WNBA star is the latest high-profile athlete to have her home burglarized. On Sunday night, Tennessee Titans defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons’s home was broken into while he was in California to face the San Francisco 49ers.
Public records show that Ionescu and Grasu purchased the home in December 2024 for $4.4 million. The residence is in the Mar Vista neighborhood on the western side of Los Angeles.
Drafted first overall by the Liberty in 2020, Ionescu is a four-time All-Star and four-time All-WNBA performer. She won the WNBA Finals with New York in 2024.
Ionescu was a two-time Wooden Award winner in college at Oregon, and made the Pac-12 All-Conference Team four times. She was also the 2016 Max Preps National Player of the Year at Miramonte High School in Orinda, CA.
Grasu is a former offensive lineman who was drafted by the Chicago Bears in 2015 and finished his career with the Raiders in 2023. He was a First-Team All-American at Oregon as a four-year player with the Ducks from 2010-14.
