LOS ANGELES — Police are investigating a reported burglary at 'F1' actor Brad Pitt's home, two law enforcement sources familiar with the incident told NBC News on Thursday.
Pitt was not home at the time, the sources said.
A Los Angeles police spokesperson confirmed a break-in at 10:30 p.m. Wednesday at a residence in the Los Feliz neighborhood but did not identify who lived there or who owned the home.
Thieves ransacked the home and took an unknown amount of miscellaneous property, officials said. The value of the items was not immediately disclosed.
Police were looking for three people who climbed over a front fence and broke in through the home's front window, the sources said.
It's the latest in a wave of burglaries in recent years that have targeted high-end neighborhoods across Los Angeles and Southern California, where VIPs and celebrities have been victimized.
On Valentine's Day, the Los Angeles home of actor Nicole Kidman and musician Keith Urban was burglarized.
A week before that, the Southern California home of Los Angeles Football Club star forward Olivier Giroud, member of the French National Team that won the 2018 World Cup, was burglarized. In that case, thieves made off with what a source described as 'a significant amount' of jewelry and other items.
Authorities have not said whether any of the crimes are connected to South American burglary crews that have been targeting high-end homes from coast to coast and have been fixtures in the Los Angeles area for more than a decade.
