Los Angeles authorities have arrested a suspect in connecting to a recent break-in at the Beverly Hills home of Lionel Richie.
In a statement to Fox News Digital, the Beverly Hills Police Department confirmed that officers arrested a 38-year-old man near Wilshire Boulevard and Beverly Glen Boulevard on suspicion of residential burglary. According to the spokesperson local officers responded to a call around midnight on August 22 about a residential burglary, and during the course of the investigation the suspect was arrested a few blocks away from the property.
According to TMZ, Ritchie was home at the time of the incident and thanks to his triggered security system, the perpetrator was scared off with nothing stolen from the property.
The superstar singer/songwriter’s attempted theft follows another burglary investigation in Los Angeles involving Brad Pitt’s home where authorities arrested four suspects believed to be linked to a string of residential burglaries across Southern California, including the actor’s home.
