CCTV cameras reportedly caught three individuals getting out of a car and heading towards her house as the getaway driver remained at the wheel.

According to the police report, the men rang the Intercom and told the person who answered that they had hit a car parked in front of the property.

As soon as the person opened the door, one of the men drew a gun and the trio forced their way in.

Two women and a child were in the house in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, at the time.

Once inside, the men ordered them into a room, as they began taking valuable items, as reported on Need To Know.

They allegedly took 9,000 BRL (£1,400) in cash, clothes, luxury handbags, perfumes, beauty products and jewellery.

They also reportedly made off with a Fiat Toro valued at more than 80,000 BRL (£12,000) that was parked in front of the property.

Eduarda believes the men were looking for her and that they may have been tipped off by someone who often visits her house.

She said: “They went straight to where the gold and bags were. There was no hesitation.”

The stolen car has since been recovered.

Eduarda recently told her 149,000 Instagram followers: “I feel like after all this, I’ll just shut myself off completely.

“And let’s not even talk about the therapy I’ll need ASAP.

“My eyes are practically sunken from all these sleepless nights.”

Cops are still investigating the robbery which took place on Friday (17 May) night.
