Overview
- Law enforcement responded to Kardashian’s Hidden Hills estate just before 4 p.m. on Sunday after security reported a man loading items into a vehicle and arrested a 27-year-old on suspicion of burglary and taking a vehicle without the owner’s consent.
- Multiple outlets and a sheriff’s statement identified the suspect as Trey Mendel, who was detained at the property and booked at the Malibu/Lost Hills station.
- Sources close to Kardashian dispute parts of the police account and say the man did not gain entry to the house and that Kardashian does not currently store personal belongings at the site.
- Authorities said no weapons were found and no one was injured; Kardashian and her children were not at the home because it is under renovation and the family has been living in a nearby rental.
- The investigation will be reviewed by the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office for possible charges and the episode renews attention to security practices around high-value celebrity properties following past high-profile attacks on Kardashian.
