10 burglary suspects now in custody for targeting celebrity homes
Ten alleged gang members are now facing felony charges in connection with a series of burglaries that targeted celebrity homes in the Los Angeles area.

LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- Ten alleged gang members are now facing felony charges in connection with a series of burglaries that targeted celebrity homes in the Los Angeles area.

Among those allegedly hit by the crew were singer Rihanna, Dodgers star Yasiel Puig and Rams receiver Robert Woods.

The names of Lakers star LeBron James and actor Matt Damon were also on a list of potential future targets.

The suspects are charged with counts that include burglary, home-invasion robbery and conspiracy.

Four of the arrests were announced in October, but others have since been taken into custody.

The victims were chosen in part when social media postings and scheduled events indicated they would not be home.
