Nearby Celebrity Homes Have Also Been Targeted: November Break-Ins Targeted RHOBH Stars Kathy Hilton and Sutton Stracke
In November last year, two stars from “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” also faced frightening home burglaries while they were out of town.
Reports at the time revealed that Kathy Hilton and Sutton Stracke had their homes targeted while attending BravoCon in Las Vegas.
The incidents added to a growing list of reality television personalities whose properties have been burglarized in recent years.
According to law enforcement sources cited by TMZ, Stracke’s home was burglarized during the afternoon. Authorities received a 911 call around 2 p.m. from her dog walker, who discovered the break-in. The suspects had reportedly entered through a kitchen window that had been smashed.
Police responded to the scene and documented the incident. It was not immediately clear whether anything had been taken from the property.
NBC reported that Hilton’s home was also targeted later that evening. Her husband, Rick Hilton, was inside at the time but was not harmed.
He contacted authorities after reporting that three men had entered the property. Investigators have not confirmed whether anything was stolen before the suspects fled.
I don’t get it. ALL the knowledge (if they have been paying attention) of the massive increase of crime in their area. Kyle + Dorit’s homes targeted. And these celeb’s wouldn’t spend the money on security that includes manned staff, WITH dogs, working shifts outside the home, while they are EVER away?! All those purses, the jewelry, the clothes they spend *thousands* on…..and extra security isn’t even a 2nd thought?! Wow, ladies…..good luck with that. Enjoy that bubble that you continue to live in! There is a reason SO MANY have left Los Angeles. Your police and government there is NOT going to save you.
