Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been warned of criminal gangs targeting homes in their A-lister town in California.
The couple moved to Montecito in California in March 2020 and have lived in a mansion in an exclusive gated community ever since.
But the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been warned to be on alert after a number of break-ins nearby.
Safes have been targeted in homes as police warn the break-ins appear to be organised by criminal gangs.
The latest raid took place on Wednesday, just a five minute drive away from the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s £12million mansion.
The Montecito Association has issued a warning as they give locals tips on how to keep their homes secure.
Sheriff Officer Rachel Zick said: “In the past week, deputies have taken several burglary reports with notable similarities in the resident layouts, times of occurrence and items taken.
“In these burglaries, criminals target unoccupied residences that back up to open spaces such as golf courses as well as creeks, streams or the ocean.
“Investigators have noted most of these crimes occur between 6pm and 10pm. The most recent burglaries occurred on Wednesday, January 24, 2024, in the 1500-block of Las Tunas in Montecito, and two in the 800-block of Sand Point Lane, Carpinteria. The suspect(s) in these cases are targeting safes.”
It’s not the first time Harry and Meghan have been hit with security warnings, with the couple receiving six alerts within the space of 14 months in July 2022.
On Christmas Eve in 2020, a man allegedly trespassed at the home and was arrested two days later after cops tracked him down.
The luxury mansion, which the couple bought in June 2020, boasts nine bedrooms and 16 bathrooms.
Sitting on 7.4 acres with spectacular views of the Pacific Ocean it also has a private cinema, gym, spa and wine cellar.
