Authorities have arrested a suspect believed to be connected to a recent break-in at the Beverly Hills residence of music icon Lionel Richie.
The Beverly Hills Police Department confirmed to Fox News Digital that a 38-year-old man was taken into custody near Wilshire Boulevard and Beverly Glen Boulevard on suspicion of residential burglary.
According to multiple media outlets, the property in question belongs to Lionel Richie. Police said they received a call around midnight on 22 August regarding a possible burglary. The suspect was later arrested a few blocks from the home.
TMZ reported that Lionel Richie, best known for classics like All Night Long and Hello, was inside the house at the time of the incident. His home’s security system was triggered, scaring off the intruder, and nothing was stolen.
The attempted burglary comes just weeks after another high-profile case in Los Angeles involving Brad Pitt’s home. Earlier this month, four suspects were arrested in connection with a series of residential burglaries across Southern California, including the June 25 break-in at Pitt’s property. Pitt was not at home during that incident.
