A man in his 70s was arrested after crashing his car through the gates of Jennifer Aniston ’s Bel-Air home on Monday afternoon while the actress was inside. The incident unfolded shortly after noon in Los Angeles, prompting an immediate response from Aniston’s private security team, who reportedly removed the driver from his vehicle and detained him at gunpoint.
TMZ and CBS News reported that the security team quickly secured the man and waited for police to arrive. The Los Angeles Police Department responded to what they classified as a burglary call, though the suspect was already in custody when they arrived. Aniston did not interact with the man and was unharmed during the ordeal, according to police.
Officials told ABC7 that the suspect was booked for felony property damage due to the force of the crash. While some insiders suggested the incident may have been accidental, others said the way the man drove into the gate did not appear accidental. At this stage, authorities are not treating the case as a targeted attack on Aniston.
The LAPD confirmed that Aniston was home at the time of the crash and have launched a full investigation to determine the man’s motives. His background is being scrutinised, though preliminary findings indicate he has a minor criminal record. So far, there is no evidence he was intentionally targeting the actress.
Representatives for Aniston have declined to comment, and the LAPD is continuing its inquiries into the circumstances surrounding the crash. The event has raised renewed concerns around celebrity security and residential safety in affluent Los Angeles neighbourhoods.
No injuries were reported, but there was visible damage to the property. Investigators are still working to clarify whether the act was deliberate or a result of confusion or error. The suspect remains in custody as further assessments are made.
