Man accused of robbing the houses of Rihanna, Yasiel Puig and more – Variety

A man was accused Tuesday of targeting and having robbed celebrity homes, the Los Angeles District Attorney's Office announced.

Tyress Williams, 19, of Los Angeles faces four counts of residential burglary in the first degree, according to a criminal complaint. Prosecutors say the defendant has robbed four residences: the home of singer Tota Matthieu (known as Mr. Pokora) on August 24, the residence of Dodgers player Yasiel Puig on September 18, a house owned by Rihanna on September 25 and a residence belonging to Rams wide receiver Robert Woods on September 27.

Williams should be brought to justice Tuesday. He faces a maximum sentence of 10 years imprisonment where he is convicted. Prosecutors request that the bond be set at $ 200,000. The case remains under investigation by the Los Angeles Police Department.

Williams is believed to be part of a four-member crew that targets celebrity homes, reported the Los Angeles Times. In the house of one of the members was a list of a dozen future targets including LeBron James, Viola Davis and Matt Damon, said Tuesday Capt Lillian Carranza, Los Angeles police. According to her, the crew could be responsible for the burglaries of Puig and Rihanna, as well as burglary at the home of the singer Christina Milian.

In addition to Williams, 18-year-old Damaji Corey Hall and 19-year-old Jshawne Lamon Daniels were arrested after leaving Woods' home late Friday on suspicion of burglary, Carranza said. Hall's mother, Ashie Jennifer Hall, 34, was arrested for grand theft.

Carranza said that an excavation of an SUV with the men inside had led to stolen goods from Woods' house and a gun.

Puig was the victim of four burglaries, including two at his home in Encino, California, last month. LAPD investigators suspect Williams of deliberately targeting athletes during games or times when they are away from home.

A series of celebrity burglaries took place in the San Fernando Valley this year, including burglaries by rapper Wiz Khalifa and the former home of rapper Post Malone.
