Los Angeles police have arrested a man they say burglarized Hollywood Hills homes including those of celebrities after casing them while pretending to be a potential buyer or real estate agent during open houses.
Det. Jared Timmons said Wednesday that investigators have seized more than 2,000 items worth several million dollars allegedly taken in burglaries in 2017 and 2018.
Timmons said singers Adam Lambert, Usher and Jason Derulo are among 13 victims identified so far.
Capt. Cory Palka said stolen items include artwork, jewelry, fine wines, purses and clothing.
Suspect Benjamin Eitan Ackerman, 32, was being held on $1 million bail. It's not known if he has a lawyer.
