Los Angeles is typically the hub of Hollywood A-listers’ residences, given the place’s pop-culture climate and centrality in the nation’s film and TV industry. However, this sprawling Southern California city has become the victim of a barrage of home invasions, with Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson’s house facing the brunt of it.
This news comes hot on the heels of Modern Family star Sarah Hyland‘s LA property being burglarised. The case shares certain similarities with the burglary at Hyland’s place, as the burglars reportedly hit Hanks’ estate when the actor couple was out of town.
TMZ first broke the news. Law enforcement officials said the incident happened a few weeks ago when housebreakers attempted to break into the Forrest Gump actor’s guest house on the property. Thieves smashed the glass to get in, that too, in broad daylight. Ultimately, the security system rang the alarm after the glass was hit. However, that didn’t stop the burglars from waltzing into the property.
Sources claim the thieves didn’t actually make it to the main house. Officials also stated that the case didn’t necessarily single out Hanks and Wilson as targets. It appears to be another addition to the area’s ongoing slew of home invasions.
