Overview

• Four teenagers, aged 16 to 18, were arrested mid-August in Los Angeles and remain in custody on suspicion of orchestrating a string of high-profile burglaries.
• Investigators recovered valuables, including items from Brad Pitt’s Los Feliz home, during searches of the suspects’ residences.
• Law enforcement officials say the group used hidden cameras to surveil victims, Wi-Fi jammers to disable alarms and social media to time strikes when homes were empty.
• Authorities believe the suspects are part of a larger organized network that targeted celebrities such as Nicole Kidman, Keith Urban, Olivier Giroud and Yoshinobu Yamamoto.
• Police warn that posting travel plans on social media can inadvertently signal absences to potential burglars.
