A trio of people suspected of burglarizing Brad Pitt’s Southern California home two months ago have been arrested, police said Monday.
The burglary of the Oscar-winning actor’s home in the Los Feliz neighborhood of Los Angeles occurred this past June 26, authorities told NBC LA.
The three suspects were taken into custody this past Thursday, police told the station.
Pitt, 61, was abroad in Japan on the promotional trail for his racing film F1 at the time of the June heist in his Southern California home, officials said.
The trio of suspects appeared to have gone to the burglary well one too many times, leading investigators to link them to the break-in and pilfering of the Shawnee, Oklahoma-born actor’s residence.
Officials told NBC LA the suspects were apprehended in the Pitt case after evidence gathered in connection with an alleged attempted break-in of a separate home implicated them in the Pitt heist.

The burglary of the Oscar-winning actor’s abode took place this past June 26
Police had been deep into their investigation into who broke into the Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood star’s home in June, NBC LA reported.
Authorities had been examining surveillance footage and comparing fingerprints taken from the location in their efforts to identify the suspects in the burglary of the Hollywood stalwart’s Los Feliz home.
The probe indicated the burglars had climbed over a fence to gain access to Pitt‘s property, police told NBC LA.
Once in, authorities said, the burglars made off with property belonging to the actor, who played the iconic role of Tyler Durden in 1999’s Fight Club.
Authorities were able to cull footage from security camera clips and other resources in their efforts to identify and arrest the burglary suspects, NBC LA reported.
Police told the TV station that the burglary crew apprehended in connection with the Pitt robbery didn’t appear to be specifically targeting famous people in their crime spree.
Sources told the station that other residences not belonging to people who are celebrities had been targeted by the illicit operation.
With that said, rising crime in Los Angeles has seen a number of famous people targeted in separate criminal schemes, as Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson, Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban, Los Angeles Dodgers ace Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Jennifer Aniston have been among those impacted by the brazen burglaries.

The A-list stalwart, who was previously in long-term relationships with Aniston and Angelina Jolie, is currently dating Ines de Ramon, a stunning jewelry executive based out of Los Angeles.
An insider previously told Daily Mail that while the relationship is going well, they are not planning on a walk down the wedding aisle anytime soon.
‘Brad is totally in love with Ines, but he doesn’t want to go down the road of marriage and kids,’ the insider said. ‘He’s been burned badly by the divorce from Angelina and his kids wanting little if nothing to do with him.’
The source concluded of Pitt: ‘He’s 61 and loving his life just the way it is.’
