Police Monday responded to the home of musicians Ashlee Simpson and Evan Ross in Encino as their alarm system went off during the early morning hours, the Los Angeles Police Department told NBC Los Angeles.
Officers responded to the home at around 3:30 a.m. but after finding no evidence of crime and discussing the matter with Simpson, they cleared the scene, the LAPD explained.
When officers followed up in a few hours to check security video camera recordings, they did not see any evidence of attempted burglary and determined it was a false alarm.
The LAPD has dispatched extra resources to the West San Fernando Valley neighborhood with a number of high-profile burglaries, one of which resulted in the death of American Idol executive Robin Kaye and her husband Thomas Deluca.
Daring criminals appeared relentless as some broke into two additional homes while the LAPD was meeting with community members to discuss public safety. One of the residences belongs to “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star Teddi Mellencamp.
Faced with mounting criticism, LA District Attorney Nathan Hochman vowed to bring the Encinovictims to justice as the LAPD dispatched additional resources, such as patrols by officers on horseback and more aerial supervision.
