The Los Angeles residence of acclaimed actor Brad Pitt was the target of a daring heist orchestrated by a trio of thieves. According to the Los Angeles Police Department, three suspects gained entry into the opulent Los Feliz abode late Wednesday evening by breaking through a front window and proceeded to "turn the place upside down" in a chaotic rampage.
While police refrained from officially acknowledging that the burglarized premises belonged to the Oscar-winning thespian, the address coincided with that of a luxurious home Pitt acquired in 2023. Authorities revealed that the suspects made a hasty exit, carting away stolen belongings, albeit the exact nature of the loot remains uncertain. Fortunately for Pitt, he was absent from the scene during the incident, as reported by US media outlets.
Earlier this week, Pitt found himself across the pond in London for the premiere of his latest cinematic venture, F1, which is set to hit theaters on Friday. He was joined by fellow Hollywood heavyweight Tom Cruise and seven-time Formula One World Drivers' Champion, Lewis Hamilton.
The burglary transpired around 10:30 PM local time on Wednesday. LA police declined to disclose the monetary value of the pilfered items. The BBC also reached out to Pitt's representatives for comment.
Nestled just beyond the boundaries of Griffith Park, which cradles the iconic Hollywood Sign, Pitt's spacious three-bedroom mansion is enclosed by a towering fence and lush foliage, affording it a measure of privacy from prying eyes.
This latest incident follows a string of celebrity home invasions reported in the city, with Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban among those previously targeted. Additionally, last month witnessed the arrest of a man on stalking and vandalism charges after he allegedly crashed his vehicle into the gated entrance of Pitt's ex-wife, Jennifer Aniston's residence.
