Four teenagers have been arrested on suspicion of committing burglaries at the homes of several prominent residents, according to LA police
Los Angeles police have formally linked a break-in at Brad Pitt’s home in the city in June to a string of other burglaries at properties belonging to celebrities.
Los Angeles police chief Jim McDonnell announced the arrest of four suspects, saying they were a a crew that were committing burglaries at the homes of “various high-profile residents” throughout the city, adding that “some of the burglaries included homes of actors and professional athletes”.
McDonnell did not name Pitt but said the case originated from a burglary investigation on 25 June of a resident in the 2300 block of North Edgemont Drive, which corresponds to the date and location of the robbery at the actor’s home.
McDonnell said: “Three masked suspects scaled a perimeter fence, approached the glass window and used [a] tool to shatter that window. They entered the residence, removed property, and then fled.”
