Real Housewives of Miami star Larsa Pippen was the victim of an attempted break-in at her Miami home on the afternoon of March 29.
Treison Lache Booker, 23, Cortez Daymon Johnson, 23, and Elijah Eugene Russell, 18, were the three men involved in the attempted home burglary.
According to TMZ, the trio was accused of trying to force their way into Larsa’s home and is now facing multiple charges, including attempting to burglarize an unoccupied dwelling.
Once they got to her house, investigators claim the men allegedly broke multiple windows. After being unable to gain entry into the property, they quickly fled in a vehicle.
After departing her home, the men ended up crashing their car and tried to run off, but the police caught up with them, arrested them, and took them into custody.
The entire ordeal was captured on tape, and, in the footage, you can see one of the men trying to run as police cars approach him. As the tape continues rolling, you see him pulled out of a bush and taken into police custody.
In surveillance video from Larsa’s home, a man is seen attempting to hammer at a door on Larsa’s back patio, while another man in a hoodie stands nearby.
When they were unable to gain access to her home via that door, they tried another entrance before walking away.
According to a report from WPLG Local 10, the trio who attempted to rob her home were from Georgia, have “no connection” to South Florida, and specifically came there to target Larsa.
They also noted that an alarm at her home went off when they attempted to burglarize it, and that Larsa saw the footage in real-time and called the police.
“K9 unit finds one of them in a yard, spooks the other one out of the yard who jumps into the 57th Avenue canal where officers pull him out, and the third one, somebody calls the police from a few blocks away and says there’s somebody crouched down in their bushes,” a police officer said.
At this time, the suspects remain in custody. What they were hoping to gain by breaking into Larsa’s home and their motive behind the attempted burglary still remain a mystery.
Larsa has also “declined to speak publicly” about the incident, according to WPLG Local 10. They also noted the judge has granted bond for two of the three individuals allegedly involved in the incident. The third individual has an outstanding warrant in Georgia and has to be extradited there to face those charges.
Larsa is far from the first star of the Real Housewives to have their home targeted, as Dorit Kemsley, Sutton Stracke, Kyle Richards, and more have all been previously targeted.
