Disturbing new Marbella burglary case as actress reveals thieves stole Chanel bag and £52,000 Rolex while she slept - days after intruder inspected woman lying naked in her bed
Noemi Hopper, a Spanish actress who has starred in a Disney+ series, took to TikTok to vent her frustrations after burglars broke into a flat in Benahavís, Marbella, she and her friends were staying in.
On July 21, the five tenants woke up to discover that someone had Noemi's blue Chanel handbag, valued at €8,600 (£7,460), as well as a Rolex watch worth €60,000 (£52,000).
It is the latest late-night break in to hit Marbella, after a horrified mother revealed that a pervert burglar broke into her home and leered at her as she slept naked.
Noemi said: 'I just woke up and we've realised that last night some thieves entered the house we're staying at.'
She said while weeping: 'And they have taken my friend's watch. They have taken my blue Chanel bag. I mean, they must have been super-professional.'
Local media reported that while the property she and her friends were staying in normally has a security guard service and alarm, they were not set on the night of the robbery.
The young people staying in the flat believe the burglar, or burglars, broke into the house through the living room's sliding door.
Spanish cops are now looking into the incident, after Noemi filed a complaint.
Last week, a woman told how she felt violated after a burglar broke into her home in the dead of the night and leered at her naked body as she slept.
Angie Castillo was in a deep sleep laying next to her boyfriend Alex Varona, 34, when the intruder hold a torch gained entry to their Costa Del Sol property and and 'inspect' her close up.
Angie, a mother-of-one, was unaware of what had happened to her until the following day when she noticed her purse was missing and the couple checked the CCTV footage in their home.
To their horror, the 32-minute clip showed the masked raider silently creeping around their bedroom looking at Angie on the bed.
He appeared to be fixated with her as he repeatedly shone his torch over her body.
Speaking exclusively to MailOnline Angie said she could have been raped if she'd been sleeping alone.
'I looked at the camera and my blood ran cold', she said.
'The guy came into the room eight times. He was looking in between my legs, at my intimate parts, looking at my face. He forgot all about the burglary. He was more interested in looking at me.'
'I was very scared, I was shaking. I was in shock. The day before my boyfriend Alex had been in Germany. If I had been alone this man might have raped me.
'Half an hour after he left the house, I went to the toilet. Perhaps if I had seen him I would have screamed. Alex would have done something. But the intruder might have been carrying a knife or a pistol.'
Angie Castillo and her partner Alex Varona, a black belt jiu-jitsu champion, were both sound asleep when the pervert burglar entered their home in Marbella last month
'I am still traumatised by this,' she said. 'Before I go to the toilet at night, I look at the cameras. If Alex leaves the bed at night, I jump. I am now seeing a psychologist.'
Instead of stealing her gold ring, €400 Philipp Plein watch or other jewellery, he only took €300 in cash from her purse and dumped it.
Spanish police are analysing the security footage to identify the suspect, but no arrests have been yet made.

I visited the European city where ‘fairytales began' with beautiful mountain parks and cheap Ryanair flights
The city marks the start of the German Fairytale Route, stretching 600km through the country to the maritime city of Bremen FAIRYTALE ROUTE I visited the European city where 'fairytales began' with beautiful mountain parks and cheap Ryanair flights Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) WE all know our Disney fairytales and their happily ever afters, right? Well, the original versions of favourites such as Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, Little Red Riding Hood and Rumpelstiltskin were a lot darker, as I found out on my visit to Hanau, Germany, the birthplace of the Brothers Grimm. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 5 The magical medieval castle in Kassel Credit: Getty 5 A nod to Cinderella at Marburg Castle Credit: Alamy 5 The Grimms path in Marburg Credit: Alamy The city marks the start of the German Fairytale Route, stretching 372 miles through the country to the maritime city of Bremen. Along the way you can explore quaint towns, medieval castles and ancient forests — and imagine you, too, are in the middle of a fairytale. The main focus for my adventure was the life of the Grimm Brothers, credited with devising the opening line 'Once upon a time' and the concluding 'lived happily ever after'. In Hanau, I learned that in their early years, Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm scoured the surrounding countryside for authentic folk tales that had been handed down over generations. Then, in 1812, they decided to publish a compilation of all they had heard on their travels, including Cinderella and Rapunzel. But the violence in some of the stories meant that the book was not particularly well received, so the brothers had to rely on their creative skills to tone down the explicit elements. And with that, the modern day fairytale was born. But it's not this collection of stories I'm here to uncover on my four-day trip, it's the story behind the Brothers Grimm themselves. Strolling through the main square of Hanau, I could not miss the huge statue of the pair which commemorates the fact they were born here. This city is understandably proud and has erected a trail of artworks depicting various characters from their stories, including King Thrushbeard, Snow White and Little Red Riding Hood. Martin Lewis warns about strict passport rule that could see you board your flight - only to get sent home on arrival About 30 minutes from here by car sits my favourite stop on the trail, Steinau an der Strasse. With higgledy-piggledy houses surrounded by lush trees, I immediately fell in love with the beautiful little village, which is as chocolate box as something from a fairytale. And it turns out the brothers loved it, too. This is the place where they are said to have spent the happiest part of their childhood. And you can get a sense for that in their former home. Now open to the public, the house-turned-museum hosts interesting exhibits about their work, as well as the works of their younger brother, Ludwig Emil, a talented artist who created the illustrations in the brothers' book. Cascading water Their grandfather had been the priest in the local church in the marketplace for 47 years and their father was born here. After a brief stint in Hanau, he returned to the village in the early years of his marriage to become a magistrate. While here, check out Die Holzkoeppe, a theatre that puts on regular puppet shows. And for a flavour of traditional Germany, head to Cafe Restaurant Rosengarten, which serves classic schnitzels in various forms, including a Little Red Riding Hood version that comes topped with tomatoes and mozzarella. The following day, my journey continued a little over an hour north to the hilly and historic market town of Marburg, where the Brothers studied. It is a charming destination full of beautiful half-timbered houses. 5 Unicorns on the Grimms Path Credit: Alamy 5 Jane Keightley reading by a statue Credit: Supplied The brothers have certainly left their mark on the town, with visitors now able to follow the 'Grimms Path', which takes you on a mile-long fairytale-themed walk through the old town. The final stop on my fairytale adventure took me even further north to Kassel, where the Brothers eventually became librarians so that they could support their family while they searched for fairytales. Today, the city is home to the largest museum dedicated entirely to the Grimms. Called Grimmwelt, it has a trail of original exhibits as well as state-of-the-art installations and hands-on activities. The city is also a great place for ramblers as it is home to a Unesco World Heritage park and Europe's largest mountain park, filled with cascading water features. With gorgeous green and woodland landscapes like this around, I can see how the brothers found the inspiration to adapt their fairytale stories. And, certainly, no Disney princess would look out of place here.
