Monet Mazur's Hollywood Hills home targeted in break-in attempt

Los Angeles Police Department officers responded to a home invasion at actress Monet Mazur's Hollywood Hills residence on Saturday, authorities told Fox News Digital. The police received a "hot prowl burglary" call before 11:30 p.m., at which time suspects were reportedly still at the location. Officials stated that at least one victim was inside the residence when the individuals attempted to gain entry, but the suspects fled before officers arrived.

The two-bedroom property is valued at $1.5 million. Reporting from The Post claimed Mazur, 50, spotted three people dressed in black clothing and wearing ski masks on security cameras. The outlet reported that Mazur confronted the suspects before they entered the home, prompting them to flee. Images from the scene allegedly showed pepper spray visible on the doormat outside, according to The Post.

TMZ offered a different account, reporting that the actress' alarm was triggered when suspects tried to open her front door, which caused them to run off. TMZ noted that no one confronted the intruders and that nothing was taken. Fox News Digital confirmed that officers searched the location but did not locate any suspects. Authorities stated that no suspect description is available at this time, no injuries were reported, and a burglary report was completed.

Mazur's representatives did not immediately respond to requests for comment. The incident follows a series of high-profile break-ins involving public figures. Simone Biles recently disclosed to her TikTok audience that her Chicago home was robbed earlier this year. She stated that three individuals stole her Porsche GTS, a vehicle that police later recovered. Biles described the incident as "absolute insanity" and noted that she and her husband, Jonathan Owens, increased their home security by acquiring a Doberman Pinscher.

Stephen Scott, founder of Scott's K9 and a US Army veteran, told Fox News Digital that professionally trained protection dogs can provide an added layer of defense for homeowners. Scott explained that protection dogs can hear and smell intruders before owners do, effectively buying time for residents to assess the situation or call for help. "The biggest thing that they're going to do is they're going to buy you a lot of time," Scott said. He added that trained K9s will start barking at the sight and sound of an intruder, giving owners a chance to secure children or weapons.

Scott also highlighted the vulnerability created by digital footprints. He noted that homeowners often post their schedules and locations online when they are away from their homes. "They post everything online when they're gone from the house, what time, what their schedule is," Scott said. He identified this practice as a significant factor in increased break-in attempts, stating that public posts reveal exactly when residents are absent.
