Three teenage boys and the mother of one of the suspects are accused of robbing a number of mansions and also having a burglary wish list featuring a who’s who of the A-List.
“The burglars believed no one would be home, and the homes would contain sought-after valuables that they might be interested in,” she said.
Police arrested Jshawne Lamon Daniels, 19, Tyress Lavon Williams, 19, and Damaji Corey Hall, 18, after they were pulled over on Sept. 27 in South Los Angeles after allegedly robbing Los Angeles Rams receiver Robert Woods’ home in Woodland Hills.
Carranza said three suspects were detained and later arrested after officers allegedly found property, including a firearm, which they identified as belonging to Woods.
LAPD alleges that the suspects were also responsible for the recent burglaries of homes belonging toRihannaand Los Angeles Dodgers outfielderYasiel PuigandChristina Milianas well as her boyfriend French singer Matthieu “M. Pokora” Tota.

Daniels, Williams and Hall were all charged with burglary. In addition Hall’s mother, 34-year-old Ashle Jennifer Hall, was charged with grand theft in association with stolen property and a firearm recovered from the vehicle.
At this time, the investigation is still ongoing and police believe the suspects may be involved in a number of other burglaries.
“They flock like birds to areas where the rich and famous resided,” Carranza said.

“Once a potential target home was selected, a larger vehicle would be utilized to give the suspects the opportunity to change into more comfortable clothing and hoodies to avoid being recognized and cart away the stolen goods,” Carranza added.
Carranza said the suspects would grab cash, guns, jewelry and designer goods within minutes, taking “flight” before alarm companies could respond or notify the owners.
The four remain in police custody and have yet to make pleas. It is not clear if the group have engaged legal representation at this time.
Those involved and their crimes later inspired the 2013 film starringEmma Watson,The Bling Ring.
