The Friends actress was home at the time of the incident on Monday
A man was detained by Los Angeles police after crashing his car through the gates of Jennifer Aniston’s Bel-Air mansion on Monday. The actress was home when the incident took place.
Officers received a call regarding a crash in Bel Air around 12:20 p.m. on Monday, May 5. The Los Angeles Police Department confirmed that a male suspect who is “approximately 70 years of age, rammed his vehicle through the gate to the residence and gained access to the property,” per People.
“There was a security guard on premises who was able to detain that suspect until officers arrived, at which time they took him into custody without incident,” the LAPD added. “The resident was home at the time.” The suspect sustained minor injuries, but no one else was hurt.
According to ABC News, the suspect was detained by the LAPD and taken into custody. He will be book for felony vandalism due to the damage. ABC News confirmed that “the incident does not appear to have been an accident, though there is also nothing to indicate yet that the driver was targeting Aniston.” It added that while the suspect has a minor criminal history, none of his prior charges involve Aniston.
Aniston showcased her Bel-Air home in 2018 to Architectural Digest (she was married to Justin Theroux at the time). The Friends star bought the property in 2011. “If I wasn’t an actress, I’d want to be a designer,” she told the outlet. “I love the process. There’s something about picking out fabrics and finishes that feeds my soul.”
