Police said at the time that suspects broke in through the front window, ransacked the home and fled with miscellaneous property.
Detectives have made four arrests, Officer Drake Madison said on Tuesday. He said the suspects' names could be released later in the day.
Officials could not identify who owned or lived in the home, and no information was available on what was stolen.
Pitt reportedly bought the property for 5.5 million US dollars (£4 million) in April 2023, according to Traded, a commercial real estate website.

Police will not endorse activities of volunteer ‘force' launching patrols
A police force said it will not endorse the activities of volunteers in Bournemouth who have set up a uniformed 'force' to patrol the streets, adding a review of their vetting processes highlighted 'areas of significant concern'. Safeguard Force, whose volunteers will wear branded bibs, said it aims to create 'safer, more supportive communities by providing visible, compassionate and non-confrontational patrols' which were set to start on August 11. The move follows two high-profile murder cases in the town as well as the local police force having to introduce dispersal powers on the seafront after a disturbance involving a 'large group of people' on June 30 which left a teenage girl and two officers injured. Dorset Police said a multi-agency meeting was held with Safeguard Force on Friday and 'a review of their vetting processes has highlighted areas of significant concern'. Assistant Chief Constable Mark Callaghan, of Dorset Police, said: 'Following a multi-agency meeting on Friday 15 August 2025, which involved Dorset Police, other emergency services, the local authority and representatives of Safeguard Force, we will not be endorsing their activities. 'We have engaged with the group extensively and a review of their vetting processes has highlighted areas of significant concern. The organisers have been unable to provide reassurance that this group has sufficient safeguards in place to ensure volunteers are adequately vetted, trained, and equipped to undertake high-visibility patrols in the community. 'Safeguard Force's policies provided to police contain insufficient details in relation to the use of body-worn cameras, publishing of photographs of members of the public, administration and recording of any force used or first aid provided and limited evidence of any training provided. 'We welcome the responsible use of volunteers, who wish to carry out public service and there are many ways in which this can be facilitated in a safe way, including becoming a Special Constable, joining the street pastor programme, or via established Watch schemes. 'All these initiatives have appropriate policies and processes in place, particularly around the vetting of individuals and safeguarding of vulnerable people. 'Dorset Police continues to carry out high-visibility patrols, with 289 foot patrols taking place in the past seven days throughout Bournemouth town centre, gardens and seafront. 'This resulted in arrests being made and dispersal notices being issued, stop searches for drugs or weapons, anti-social behaviour incidents attended, intelligence gathered and almost 1,200 conversations with members of the public and 131 businesses and local premises visited. 'We would encourage members of the public to speak to our officers and report incidents and crimes directly to us so we're able to effectively respond and investigate.' In March, Nasen Saadi was jailed for life to serve a minimum of 39 years at Winchester Crown Court for the murder of Amie Gray and attempted murder of Leanne Miles on Bournemouth beach on May 24 2024. And in January 2023, Afghan asylum seeker Lawangeen Abdulrahimzai was jailed for life to serve a minimum of 29 years at Salisbury Crown Court for the murder of 21-year-old Thomas Roberts outside a Subway takeaway shop in Bournemouth in March 2022.

US rapper Sean Kingston jailed for million-dollar fraud scheme
US rapper Sean Kingston has been sentenced to three-and-a-half years in prison after being convicted of a one million dollar (£738,000) fraud scheme in which he leveraged his fame to dupe sellers into giving him luxury items he then never paid for. Kingston, whose legal name is Kisean Paul Anderson, and his mother, Janice Eleanor Turner, were each convicted in March by a federal jury of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and four counts of wire fraud. Advertisement Turner was sentenced to five years in prison last month. The singer apologised to judge David Leibowitz before he was sentenced in South Florida, saying he had learned from his actions. His lawyer asked if he could self-surrender at a later date due to health issues, but the judge ordered Kingston to be taken into custody immediately. The rapper, who was wearing a black suit and white shirt, removed his suit jacket and was handcuffed and led from the courtroom. Advertisement Kingston, 35, and his mother were arrested in May 2024 after a raid on his rented mansion in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Turner was taken into custody during the raid, while Kingston was arrested at Fort Irwin, an Army training base in California's Mojave Desert, where he was performing. According to court records, Kingston used social media from April 2023 to March 2024 to arrange purchases of high-end merchandise. After negotiating deals, Kingston would invite the sellers to one of his high-end Florida homes and promise to feature them and their products on social media. Advertisement Investigators said that when it came time to pay, Kingston or his mother would text the victims fake receipts for the luxury merchandise, which included a bulletproof Escalade vehicle, watches and a 19ft (5.9-metre) LED TV, investigators said. When the funds never cleared, victims often contacted Kingston and Turner repeatedly, but were either never paid or received money only after filing lawsuits or contacting police. Kingston, who was born in Florida and raised in Jamaica, shot to fame aged 17 with the 2007 hit Beautiful Girls, which laid his lyrics over Ben E King's 1961 song Stand By Me. His other hits include 2007's Take You There and Fire Burning in 2009. Advertisement

Shoplifting is the most visible manifestation of lawless Britain
The shoplifting epidemic does not help to foster the perception that the legal system is on the side of the law-abiding public. This frustration is apparently shared by some within law enforcement. Katy Bourne, national lead for shoplifting at the Association of Police and Crime Commissioners, has pointed out that with prison ruled out as a punishment by the lack of places, there is currently 'no point arresting shoplifters if there is no effective deterrent'. This is certainly the case if we do not intend to incapacitate offenders by separating them from the general public. It is an absurdity that police appear to have time to visit shopkeepers for signs criticising shoplifters even as the level of criminal activity soars and offences go unpunished. As Ms Bourne states, we seem to have reached a point where forces are 'more worried about upsetting career criminals than catching them'. It is a phenomenon that many will feel has been replicated across the state by a Government which insists it holds the sole right to apply the law, and which often seems to fail to do so in any meaningful way. The paltry fine handed down to a migrant recently convicted of illegal working in the delivery sector merely served to emphasise that economic rationality weighs against the law-abiding in this field. If the Government wishes to combat the impression that Britain is an increasingly lawless place, it should start by dealing with the most visible manifestations of disorder. And that, in turn, means taking shoplifting seriously.
