Residents of a wealthy California neighborhood have been left terrified after robbers ransacked their condos as it was being fumigated.

The break-ins happened inside the Del Ray Plaza complex in Playa del Rey, as it was tented up and fumigated from December 11-13.

Residents of the building, located on the westside of Los Angeles, were promised around-the-clock security by the homeowners association.

Despite this, thieves ransacked 23 units of a total 39, making off with cash, jewelry, and other valuables while leaving the vacant homes in disarray. 

'We have 23 doors that have been smashed. We've got places that have been looted like you have no idea,' said Loren Brown, a resident, who spoke with KTLA News.

Brown added: 'Cash is gone, guns are gone. The people who were in here knew what they were doing.

'They were wearing respirators. This does not feel like it's an organic thing. This is somehow, to me, an inside job.'

Several people reported seeing lights on inside the building during the fumigation , despite residents being told to turn them off before they vacated the premises.
