Authorities have arrested four suspects believed to be linked to a string of residential burglaries across Southern California, including a recent break-in at the Los Angeles home of actor Brad Pitt.
The Los Angeles Police Department confirmed that four individuals were taken into custody in connection with a burglary on the 2300 block of North Edgemont Street.
While the department does not release or confirm the identity of homeowners, multiple media outlets have reported the property belongs to Pitt, who purchased the home in 2023, according to real estate site The Real Deal.
Details regarding how the suspects were apprehended have not been released.

Law enforcement officials have yet to disclose further details, but the arrests mark a significant step in addressing what appears to be a coordinated campaign of thefts targeting wealthy and well-known individuals.
A spokesperson for the LAPD told Fox News Digital that they could not verify if the arrests were connected to other crimes at this time.
In May, Pitt’s ex-wife, Jennifer Aniston, was also involved in a separate incident when a man crashed through the gates of her Bel Air residence. The Associated Press, citing KABC-TV, reported that the “Friends” actress was at home during the event.
