After years of his own legal troubles, Chris Brown finds himself as an apparent victim — after armed intruders burst into his Southern California home and locked his aunt in a closet, police said.
The chart-topping, award-winning singer wasn’t at his home in Tarzana, a neighborhood of Los Angeles, when authorities got a call about what happened around 2 a.m. (5 a.m. ET) Wednesday, according to L.A. Police Department Officer R. Alvarez.
But Brown’s aunt was there. After hearing a commotion outside, she opened the door to find three males with handguns, Alvarez said.
The armed men forced their way into the house and locked his aunt in a closet. The intruders eventually fled in an unknown vehicle toward an unknown direction, according to the LAPD officer.
