The burglary crew scoured celebrities’ social media posts and noted when they’d be away from home.
In the last 13 months, they targeted the likes of the Dodgers’ Yasiel Puig, singer Rihanna, “This Is Us” producer Daniel Fogelman and the Rams’ Robert Woods.
Authorities say they had plans to hit the homes of Laker LeBron James and actor Matt Damon, but Los Angeles police apprehended some of them before they could. Now, 13 men with alleged ties to a South L.A. gang have been charged with a series of sophisticated burglaries targeting some of the city’s biggest celebrities and athletes.
The men are charged with felony burglaries, home invasion robberies and gang conspiracy in connection with the crimes — the last of which occurred even after police announced some arrests. Ten of the accused are already behind bars, held on multimillion-dollar bail. Prosecutors say they may be responsible for numerous other burglaries and home invasions targeting wealthy Southern Californians.
A felony complaint alleges that the men committed the crimes as members of the 62 Brim gang. Prosecutors say the crew also broke into the homes of rapper Curtis Young and music producer Chief Keef.
In Chief Keef’s case, they attempted a home invasion robbery Sept. 23 at his San Fernando Valley house, according to the LAPD. Some of the suspects were carrying handguns. A brick was thrown through a window and a shot was fired during the crime.
