A housekeeper was handcuffed in an armed home invasion robbery in Rancho Santa Fe Thursday, sheriff's deputies confirmed.
According to officials, two suspects -- one of whom was armed with a handgun -- attempted to enter a home in the 5000 block of El Mirlo at around noon.
A housekeeper was the only person home at the time and she denied the suspects entry. After doing so, deputies said the woman was taken around back by the suspects and handcuffed to something so they could then ransack the house.
They entered the home and stole jewelry, antique clocks and other expensive items, deputies said.
The suspects fled in a metallic KIA with the stolen items.
The housekeeper was not injured. Deputies said her teenage children discovered her some time later and called 911 to report the crime.
