Four teenagers have been arrested in connection with a string of burglaries that hit the homes of several celebrities in Los Angeles, including actor Brad Pitt. According to police, this group, which consists of two 18-year-olds, a 17-year-old, and a 16-year-old, are all members of a street gang linked to multiple high-profile thefts.
The arrests followed a burglary at Pitt's home, where masked intruders broke in through a window to steal various items. While police did not confirm the actor's involvement, the property matches one he acquired earlier this year. Notably, other stars like Nicole Kidman and professional athletes, including LA Dodgers Yoshinobu Yamamoto, have also reported similar break-ins this year.
Investigators revealed the burglars had sophisticated tactics, employing surveillance cameras to monitor their targets and using wi-fi jammers to disrupt home security. This trend warns that the fame of public figures makes them attractive targets, especially when they share their upcoming travels on social media. Los Angeles police are now advising everyone to be cautious about their online presence to avoid becoming a target for theft.
