Upon hearing news that Dr. Dre was in the hospital after suffering a brain aneurysm, four men allegedly hatched a plan to break into his Pacific Palisades home.
According to TMZ, the four individuals were spotted “casing” the million-dollar property around 10 p.m. local time. However, before they could reach the main building structure, Dr. Dre’s home security confronted the men and called the police. “The men fled, but cops arrived almost immediately and chased the 4 would-be burglars, catching and arresting them.”
ABC 7 reports that during a search of the suspects’ vehicle, officials “found a backpack full of burglary tools, saws, and crowbars.” All four men have been arrested for attempted burglary and are currently in police custody.
