The Miss Brazil pageant press office says that Debora Lyra, who won the Miss Brazil competition in 2010, was held up at gunpoint as she approached the entrance of her gated condo in Sao Paulo on Sunday.

Monday’s statement says a well-dressed man with a pistol approached Lyra as she pulled up to her condominium. He took her purse, which contained her documents, cellphones and credit cards.

The gunman also took the car, which she had been given for winning the Miss Brazil beauty pageant.

She then tweeted in frustration: “For how long will these criminals keep doing this? I was just robbed at the entrance to my house.”

Lyra will pass her title to the winner of the 2011 Miss Brazil pageant, which takes place on July 23.
