Authorities have arrested three men following an attempted break-in at the Miami residence of “The Real Housewives of Miami” star Larsa Pippen over the weekend.
The suspects allegedly caused hundreds of dollars in damage before fleeing the scene and leading police on a chase that ended in a canal. The incident occurred on March 29 when three individuals tried to force their way into the television personality’s home.
Surveillance footage captured one suspect using a hammer on the door while another stood watch nearby. Although the group managed to shatter several windows on the property, they were ultimately unable to gain entry into the interior of the house. Law enforcement officials identified the suspects as 18-year-old Treison Lache Booker, 21-year-old Cortez Day Mon Johnson and 23-year-old Elijah Eugene Russell.
According to police reports, the trio fled the property in a getaway vehicle but crashed a short time later, continuing their escape on foot through the surrounding neighborhood.
The apprehension of the suspects involved a coordinated search by local authorities. A K-9 unit successfully tracked one individual to a nearby yard, while another suspect was found hiding in a neighbor’s bushes. The third suspect reportedly attempted to evade capture by jumping into a canal after crossing 57th Avenue but was eventually apprehended.
“A K-9 unit tracked down one suspect in a nearby yard, while another ran across 57th Avenue and jumped into a canal,” according to a report from CBS News.
All three men, who are reportedly from Georgia, now face burglary charges in connection with the failed heist. While no injuries were reported during the incident, the damage to Pippen’s home is estimated at approximately $1,000. Pippen, 51, has been a prominent fixture on “The Real Housewives of Miami” since its debut in 2011 and returned as a leading cast member when the series was revived in 2021.
This attempted burglary follows a trend of high-profile “Home Invasion” style crimes targeting reality television stars and celebrities in major metropolitan areas. Security experts often cite the visibility of luxury lifestyles on social media as a potential factor in such targeted attempts. The three defendants remain in custody as the legal process moves forward. Representatives for Pippen have not released a formal statement regarding the attempted break-in or the current security status of her Miami estate.
