Chris Brown's aunt was allegedly locked in a closet and held at gunpoint by three intruders while the unknowing rapper partied in a nearby club.

The masked men are said to have forced their way into his 26-year-old singer's Los Angeles home at 2am on Wednesday, before holding his aunt hostage and then ransacking the place for valuables.

Officer Liliana Preciado told the media: 'The suspects got away with an unknown amount of cash, electronics and personal items.'

Shocking: Chris Brown's aunt was allegedly locked in a closet and held at gunpoint by three intruders while the unknowing rapper partied in a nearby club

Closet connoisseur: Chris showed off his massive walk-in closet (thought to be the same one) at his new home in the San Fernando valley on Instagram on Thursday

Brown's mother, Joyce Hawkins, believes the incident was an inside job, according to TMZ.

Sources told the site she has been warning him for years about people she calls 'no good-ass friends'. Hours after the home invasion ... Joyce tweeted, 'Watch who you standing beside.'

Detectives have been canvassing the neighbourhood around the gated property at the end of a secluded street in the San Fernando Valley and looking for surveillance camera footage.

'We're trying to see if there's any video evidence that might have picked up the suspects,' Lt. Kirk Kelley told reporters at the scene.

Police presence: On Wednesday morning, police cruisers and officers conducted an investigation at Chris house

Secure: High walls and barbed-wire fence around the property made it appear difficult for someone to have broken in

Investigators have not released descriptions of the suspects, who were armed with handguns and wore bandanas around their faces, police said.

Brown came to the home several hours later to check on his aunt and then left, Preciado said. Thankfully she was not hurt.

MailOnline has contacted a spokesperson for Chris Brown for further comment.

High attention: Reporters were also at the scene of the crime, although Chris was not seen

The incident was thought to have occured as Chris flaunted his sculpted abs and extensive collection of tattoos as he left the Argyle club in Hollywood.

Thorough: Several plain-clothes detectives were spotted outside of the house

Gathering evidence: A woman with an investigation kit exited the house - security cameras on the walls behind her might have caught evidence of the intruders

Teaming his top with a pair of black, baggy trousers the singer opted for comfort with a hint of streetwear style.

Rounding his outfit of with a red and white pair of sneakers and an array of gold necklaces, Chris cut a striking and unique figure as he headed home.

The numerous break-ins have become a cause for concern for his baby Royalty's mother Nia Guzman, who believes her daughter may be in danger.

'She thinks many of Chris' friends are gang members or gang-affiliated, and the robbery shows they've now turned on Chris,' a source told TMZ recently.

Chris filed court documents asking for a formal custody agreement to agree on an official co-parenting plan with Nia.

The reported event comes as Chris took to Instagram on Thursday to show off his walk-in warehouse at his new $4.5 million home.

The 26-year-old rapper converted an entire room in his luxurious new pad into a massive clothing storeroom, which features ample space for his extensive footwear collection.
