Thieves armed with weapons destroy car and steal possessions of celebrity, causing distress on Las Vegas excursion.
Strictly Come Dancing's Saffron Barker faced pure misery after having her rental car "trashed" on a Vegas road trip, with thieves swiping all her possessions in broad daylight.
The YouTube star, 24, originally broke the news to her followers, revealing that she was grounded in the US after her stolen passport put a halt to her return trip. It gets worse - with emergency surgery added to her nightmare holiday.
In a heated TikTok vid, Saffron and model beau Josh Miln delved into the details. They'd hired a jeep to rip through the desert, but things went south when their meal break at a diner was cut short.
Returning after half an hour, the couple discovered their ride was unrecognizable, completely "smashed up". The robbers didn't stop there - they snatched everything inside, including the couple's precious passports and Saffron's medication.
"Our hearts sunk," Josh shared, speaking of their devastation. Desperate to return home, they ended up driving the damaged car to Las Vegas, but hotel staff weren't sympathetic. The couple felt like "criminals" as they begged for help with no ID.
"It's been a nightmare," Saffron admitted, adding that they were now waiting for emergency passports before making the grueling journey back to LA for their flights. Determined to salvage their vacation, they vowed to "stop at nothing" to get back home.
Since addressing the drama, police have informed the couple that the thieves were, in fact, "armed". Saffron expressed her gratitude to Josh [pictured], stating that he had been her rock throughout.
Fans couldn't help but sympathize, with some suggesting the couple shouldn't have left their passports in the car. Unfortunately, Vegas isn't done with the influencer yet. Just days before the car break-in, her UK home was robbed [1]. 💔
