Police say four people have been arrested in connection with a burglary earlier this summer at a Los Angeles home reportedly owned by actor Brad Pitt.

Four teenagers have been arrested over a burglary that left actor Brad Pitt's home ransacked, police said. The suspects are allegedly behind a number of "celebrity burglaries" that targeted the houses of actors and professional athletes, Los Angeles Police Chief Jim McDonnell said.

Detectives in Los Angeles have arrested four members of a burglary crew believed to be linked to local burglaries including June's burglary of Brad Pitt's home.
