Police announced the arrest Wednesday of a suspect in burglaries at celebrity and high-end homes in Los Angeles.
An estimated 2,000 items, including jewelry and artwork, worth millions of dollars were seized during the investigation involving homes in the Hollywood area. The suspect cased the homes during open houses, then returned to break in and steal the items.
The burglaries occurred in 2017 and 2018. A search warrant was executed in September in connection with the case.
Detectives received a break in the case when they noticed the same person signing in to multiple open houses where the burglaries occurred.
“They believe that he was a buyer,” said detective Jared Timmons. “When he showed up… he acted the part.”
The victims included Hollywood celebrity homes belonging to singers Usher, Jason Derulo, Adam Lambert and others, Timmons said.
