Police are searching for three suspects believed to have burglarized Brad Pitt’s home in Los Angeles’ Los Feliz neighborhood, according to multiple media reports.
The break-in at the residence, in the 2300 block of North Edgemont Street, reportedly happened Wednesday night while no one was inside and Pitt was in Japan promoting his latest film, “F1,” TMZ reported.
Officials with the Los Angeles Police Department said three suspects climbed the property’s front fence and cased the exterior of the home before shattering a living room window to gain entry. Once inside, the burglary crew “ransacked” the home, stealing an unknown amount of the movie star’s property and leaving the area.
Officers initially responded to the area on reports of an alarm call, later discovering the break-in.
Pitt now joins the ranks of Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban and Los Angeles Football Club star Olivier Giroud, whose homes were broken into by thieves earlier this year, the latter of which reported some $500,000 in jewelry stolen from the residence.
In early December, security guards chased four masked intruders off actor, writer and director Tyler Perry’s property in Beverly Ridge Estates, leaving behind a backpack full of tools like crowbars, gloves and a cellphone.
Luckily for Perry, his on-site security personnel spotted the trespassers using thermal imaging and were able to intercept them as they were walking through shrubs on the property.
Just months before that, burglars attempted to get into the L.A. home of celebrity couple Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson in the Pacific Palisades. Again, a window was smashed, but the couple’s alarm was triggered, and the thieves did not gain entry.
As for this most recent celebrity break-in, neither Pitt nor his representatives have sounded off on what might have been taken.
