Four people have been arrested for a string of Los Angeles burglaries, including Rihanna‘s and Christina Milian‘s homes. According to Billboard, the four suspects, Tyress Williams, Jshawne Daniels, Damaji Hall and Hall’s mother, Ashle Hall, are believed to be behind as many as two dozen burglaries in the L.A. area, affecting properties owned by Rihanna, Christina Milian, Yasiel Puig and Robert Woods. Authorities have seized a number of items believed to have been taken during the series of break-ins, ranging from “expensive purses” to at least one vehicle. An estimated $50,000 in cash was recovered as well.

Lillian Carranza, captain of LAPD’s commercial crimes division, said during a press conference Tuesday (October 2nd), “During recent months, the Los Angeles Police Department has become aware of a series of residential burglaries targeting actors, producers, musicians, and professional athletes living in the Los Angeles area. Initially, it was believed that these homes were being burglarized at random. However, detectives learned that this was not the case.”

Carranza added, “The group continuously changed their attire and appearance, wearing button-down shirts and driving luxury cars, all while scouting the homes of known celebrities and athletes as potential targets.”

On another note, a separate report from USA Today noted that the police had also found a list of future targets including LeBron James, Matt Damon and Viola Davis.
