The New York home of American Dream's chief executive, Don Ghermezian, was robbed of several handbags and jewelry Saturday night, police said.

Shortly after 5 p.m., the suspects got in through the rear-door balcony of Ghermezian's home, which is on Grosvenor Avenue near Iselin Avenue in the Villanova Heights section of the Bronx, the New York Police Department said. Villanova Heights is a private rental community 5 miles north of the George Washington Bridge, and homes there are estimated to be worth several million dollars.

An unknown amount of jewelry and handbags were stolen from the home, police said, but according to news reports, the items were estimated to be worth $140,000.
