A legendary musician is the latest star to have his Los Angeles home broken into – with a man arrested after attempting to rob the legendary performer.
Early on Saturday morning Lionel Richie – best known for hits including Easy, All Night Long and Hello – was at home when an intruder tried to gain access to his home.
It’s been reported by TMZ that a Beverly Hills Police Department source confirmed that the 76-year-old’s home was targeted by a suspected thief.
‘Officers received a radio call regarding a residential burglary just after midnight in the 90210 neighborhood, where the famed singer-songwriter owns a property,’ the publication reported.
‘Richie was reportedly home at the time of the alleged burglary, but the suspected perp was scared off by the Grammy winner’s security alarm and left the home without taking anything.’
A man was arrested on suspicion of residential burglary, however the District Attorney is yet to formally file a charge. The investigation is still being classified as ‘ongoing’.
The publication went on to add that: ‘Investigators are looking into security footage and other evidence from the scene.’
The break-in at Richie’s home comes after months of stars living in LA have had their homes targeted by thieves.
