The investigation into the crime wave began in late June when Pitt's property was broken into by masked intruders who bypassed security fencing and smashed a window to gain entry. Although police have not confirmed Pitt’s residence was targeted, they noted that the address corresponds with a property he acquired in 2023, located near Griffith Park. At the time of the incident, Pitt was away promoting his new film, "F1."
After extensive surveillance of the suspects, authorities managed to arrest them last week on burglary charges, although details regarding the stolen items recovered during the investigation remain undisclosed. Chief McDonnell highlighted the sophistication of these burglars, noting their use of surveillance devices to monitor victims and wi-fi jammers to thwart home security systems. He warned that celebrities and athletes may be more vulnerable to such crimes, emphasizing that social media activity can inadvertently notify potential thieves about their absence from home.
As the investigation continues, the police are urging caution among residents, especially those sharing their whereabouts online.
