Brad Pitt’s Reported LA Residence Ransacked, Four Suspects in Custody

Four people have been arrested in connection with a burglary at a Los Angeles home reportedly owned by actor Brad Pitt. The break-in occurred on June 25 at a property in the Los Feliz neighborhood. Police say the suspects forced entry through the front window, ransacked the home, and fled with various items. Pitt, who was out of the country promoting his new film F1, was not at the property during the incident.

Arrests and Charges Against Suspects

Authorities confirmed on Tuesday that two of the suspects have been identified as 18-year-old Jaquory Arman Watson and Damari Zair Charles. Both were arrested on August 11 and face charges of first-degree burglary. They are also suspected in another burglary that took place on August 7 in Orange County, California. Police say the two are being held without bail and, if convicted, could face up to six years in prison.

Possible Larger Burglary Network

Investigators believe Watson and Charles may be part of a larger group involved in a string of home burglaries across Southern California. Police continue to search for a third suspect linked to the Brad Pitt case. This individual remains unidentified. Officials have not disclosed the total value of the stolen property.

Brad Pitt’s Property and Police Response

According to commercial real estate website Traded, Pitt purchased the Los Feliz property in April 2023 for $5.5 million. Officers responded to the scene on June 25, but the suspects had already fled. A representative for Pitt has declined to comment on the incident.

Celebrity Homes Becoming Targets

The Brad Pitt burglary is part of a rising trend of high-profile celebrity home break-ins in Los Angeles this year. In February, burglars targeted the home of Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban, smashing a glass door or window to gain entry. The Southern California residence of Olivier Giroud, forward for Los Angeles Football Club and France’s 2018 World Cup-winning team, was also targeted, with thieves escaping with valuable jewelry and other possessions.

Ongoing Investigation

Police are urging residents to remain vigilant and report suspicious activity. Detectives say they will continue to track leads in an effort to dismantle the burglary network believed to be responsible for multiple break-ins targeting celebrities.
