Police stumble upon burglars' plan to break into Demi Lovato's LA mansion during her rehab stay

Lovato has a well-known history of struggling with alcoholism and substance abuse and is currently undergoing treatment at a rehab facility
UPDATED AUG 27, 2018

Demi Lovato's hospitalization and admission into rehab for heroin addiction have meant that her posh Los Angeles home was left unattended, becoming a destination of choice for burglars looking for a quick pay off. However, a recent scheme to rob the residence has apparently been foiled by the police department, with security around the compound said to have also been increased as a result.

According to TMZ, law enforcement nabbed a group of thieves shortly after the announcement that the 26-year-old had been taken to a rehab facility out of the state to speed her recovery. While the arrests were initially not related to Lovato, police later found electronic communications among the crew that uncovered their plans to rob her $8.3 million four-bedroom mansion while she was away.
