His house was broken into less than one week ago. But, as the days unfold, new developments continue to emerge for singer Chris Brown, whose property was ransacked while he was busy making an appearance at a Los Angeles nightclub.
Now, according to a report on TMZ, the 26 year-old believes the perpetrators were four of his best friends who committed the ultimate betrayal for financial gain, including holding his aunt hostage. The site claims that both law enforcement and the smash-hit performer assume that the burglars were very close to the star.
As investigations continue, police also believe that a club promoter was involved – not least because they knew he’d been paid $50,000 in cash for an appearance, which was hidden in his safe. TMZ also add that police believe local gang Bloods may be involved and that ‘a member of LAPD’s Gang Unit was assigned the case.’
The latest update comes just days after claims Chris was tailed ahead of the incident – meaning he was actively monitored by the criminals who waited until he was busy with a public appearance before striking.
Detectives have been canvassing the neighbourhood around the gated property at the end of a secluded street in the San Fernando Valley and looking for surveillance camera footage.
“We’re trying to see if there’s any video evidence that might have picked up the suspects,” Lt. Kirk Kelley told reporters at the scene.
