LOS ANGELES – Los Angeles police on Tuesday arrested four people for a series of burglaries that targeted Dodgers star Yasiel Puig and Rams receiver Robert Woods among other celebrities, including Rihanna and Christina. Milian.

On Tuesday, Los Angeles police arrested three men aged 18 and 19 and the mother of a 34-year-old man after Thursday's burglary at Woods' home, which was playing out against the Minnesota Vikings.

At a press conference on Tuesday, police presented salvaged items, including luxury watches, handbags, jewelry and cellphones, which they thought were stolen, and revealed that the three men belonged to a gang.

LAPD captain Lillian Carranza said she found a list of additional targets in the home of one of the burglary team members, including Lakers star LeBron James, as well as actors Viola Davis and Matt Damon.

"They flock like birds to areas inhabited by the rich and famous," said Carranza. "Once a potential target house has been selected, a larger vehicle would be used to give the suspects the opportunity to change and wear more comfortable clothes and sweaters, to avoid being recognized and to take away the stolen goods. "

Police said the victims were chosen when their publications and social media schedules indicated that they would be away from their homes. Puig has been robbed four times, including twice last month at his home in Encino. Puig's latest burglary is also occurring during a party.
