A man in his 70s was taken into custody after allegedly ramming his vehicle through the gate of actress Jennifer Aniston's Bel Air home, according to CNN.
The incident occurred around 12:20 p.m. PT on Monday in the upscale Los Angeles neighborhood of Bel Air, on the 900 block of Airole Way.
Officer Jeff Lee of the Los Angeles Police Department confirmed to CNN that law enforcement responded to reports of a "burglary suspect" who had "run his vehicle through the gate to the residence."
A private security guard stationed at the property detained the suspect until LAPD officers arrived.
The man, identified only as a white male in his 70s, was taken into custody without any further confrontation.
At this time, investigators have not concluded whether the act was deliberate or a result of confusion or error.
Jennifer Aniston reportedly present during incident
Officer David Cuellar later confirmed to CNN that the homeowner, believed to be Jennifer Aniston, was present at the time of the incident.
While the actress has not issued a public statement, CNN reports that her representative has been contacted for comment.
Aniston, beloved for her iconic role on "Friends," has expressed her deep connection to her Bel Air residence.
In a 2018 feature with Architectural Digest, she shared her love for home design, saying, "If I wasn't an actress, I'd want to be a designer. I love the process. There's something about picking out fabrics and finishes that feeds my soul."
Thankfully, no injuries were reported, and the situation was brought under control swiftly.
