Four teenagers were arrested for a break -in, in which the actor Brad Pitt's house was searched, the police said.
The suspects are said to be behind a number of “celebrities” who aimed at the houses of actors and professional athletes, said Jim McDonnell, chief of police from Los Angeles.
He said that the male suspects, two 18-year-olds, a 17-year-old and a 16-year-old, were street members, and when the police searched their houses.
The police did not name those whose real estate has been targeted, but also celebrities such as Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban, La Dodgers Pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto and the ex-LA football club, Olivier Giroud, have reported burglary this year.
The investigation began at the end of June after Pitt's Haus had been searched by a trio masked thieves.
McDonnell said that the group jumped a circumference fence around Los Feliz's house and shattered a window, bouncing inside and in objects before fleeing.
The police did not confirm that the house belonged to the Oscar winner, but the address corresponded to that of a property bought in 2023.
The large house with three bedrooms is located outside the Griffith Park, where the famous Hollywood sign is located. It is surrounded by a fence and a green that protects ownership from a public perspective.
Pitt was not at home at the time of break -in and promoted his new film F1. The BBC contacted representatives of the actor.
McDonnell said that the investigators found that the suspect was part of a crew that “brought in different top -class residents in the city”, to which he said that they included houses of “actors and professional athletes”.
Last week the authorities followed the four suspects and were able to arrest them for burglary costs, he added.
The police did not get involved in which objects were recovered after the police had searched their houses.
McDonnell said that burglars, like this group, have become increasingly clever in their crimes – and surveillance cameras in nearby flower beds or on the other side of the street of houses, which they monitor a victim's routine.
He said thieves also used Wi-Fi distorted broadcasters to switch off homeowners or the police of a break-in on the home monitoring systems and cameras.
He noticed that celebrities and athletes can be easier goals because their appearances and games are published online.
However, he noticed that anyone who is published on social media via his travels unknowingly can draw a potential thief to his location.
