Recently, break-ins and burglaries have targeted stars and professional athletes nationwide.
Nicole Kidman and her husband, country star Keith Urban, are reportedly the latest celebrities targeted by crime in Los Angeles after their Beverly Hills home was recently burglarized.
According to a source cited by the New York Post, the 57-year-old actress and Urban were not home when an intruder was confronted by a member of their household staff over the weekend.
The source stated that the employee arrived just as the burglar had shattered a glass door to enter the property. Upon hearing the staff member, the suspect quickly fled the scene.
It remains unclear whether anything was stolen before the intruder escaped.
TMZ reported that no arrests have been made so far, but authorities are continuing their investigation.
The Big Little Lies actress and her country star husband are among the latest victims of a string of break-ins and burglaries affecting both celebrities and professional athletes nationwide. Others targeted include Keanu Reeves, as well as Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow and Kansas City Chiefs players Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce.
In December, Burrow’s home was burglarized while he was away for a road game with his team.
The Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office confirmed to WLWT that Burrow’s $7.5 million Ohio residence was broken into and ransacked while the Bengals secured a 27-20 victory over the Cowboys in Texas.
Following break-ins at the homes of both Chiefs players, the NFL issued a security alert to teams and players, warning of the growing threat.
According to a memo obtained by the Associated Press, the league stated that professional athletes’ homes are being “increasingly targeted for burglaries by organized and skilled groups.”
The memo described the transnational crime rings as “well-organized and sophisticated,” advising players to secure their valuables and refrain from sharing their locations, home details, or luxury possessions on social media, according to NBC News.
Authorities emphasized that these break-ins are strategically timed for when players are away for games.
As reported by the New York Post, a South American crime ring is suspected to be responsible for at least the burglaries involving the Chiefs players.
