Larsa Pippen had anything but a relaxing afternoon on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Three men were arrested near the \u201cReal Housewives of Miami\u201d star\u2019s house in the leafy upscale suburb of Pinecrest. The Bravolebrity was, fortunately, not home, but was alerted remotely that people were trying to get in via her surveillance alarm system on her phone. The 51-year-old mother of four then called 911.<\/p>\n

Pinecrest police say the people traveled all the way from Georgia to the residence. According to the arrest affidavit, they were caught near the home after a brief chase in their silver Hyundai Tucson.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey fled from responding officers who arrived within minutes,\u201d said the agency\u2019s Facebook post. \u201cWith the assistance of the Sheriff\u2019s Office and Coral Gables Police, the suspects were swiftly contained and apprehended.\u201d<\/p>\n

Arrested were Treison Lache Booker, 23; Cortez Day Mon Johnson, 23, and Elijah Eugene Russell, 18. Each faces several charges, including attempted burglary of an unoccupied dwelling, resisting without violence and criminal mischief.<\/p>\n

Per court records, as of Tuesday morning, Booker and Johnson were still in custody in Miami-Dade jail; Russell is set to be extradited on a fugitive out of state warrant for an unknown offense.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not known if the trio knew a celebrity lived at the property, but Pippen updates her fans constantly<\/a> on Instagram about renovations at the sleek, contemporary house, which she bought about a year ago.<\/p>\n

Pinecrest Police Chief Jason Cohen told the Miami Herald that scenario is likely.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe can\u2019t confirm that, but our theory is they came because they knew it was her, but we don\u2019t know that to be a fact,\u201d he said of NBA great Scottie Pippen\u2019s ex-wife. \u201cShe\u2019s very big on social media, showcasing her house. We don\u2019t recommend that, but we understand, that\u2019s her lifestyle.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cohen credits Pippen for being \u201cvery instrumental\u201d in helping law enforcement make the swift arrests.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe go to false alarms all the time,\u201d he said. \u201cBut once we determined otherwise, it changed the landscape and response and raised the alert level. As officers were approaching, they were driving away. That was the getaway car.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pinecrest police ends the Facebook post warning other neighbors in the area to stay vigilant, and for potential lawbreakers to stay far away.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis incident serves as a stark reminder that Pinecrest will not tolerate criminal activity,\u201d it said. \u201cIt also highlights the effectiveness of basic crime prevention measures. By locking their cars, setting their house alarms, and promptly reporting suspicious activity, residents played a crucial role. As a result, the burglars were apprehended and left with nothing but handcuffs and a room at the county jail.\u201d<\/p>\n

An insider close to the situation tells us that Pippen is \u201cfine,\u201d and appreciated the police department\u2019s \u201camazing\u201d response. She has since hired two 24-hour armed security guards for both inside and outside the home, and is looking into getting a guard dog, possibly a German shepherd.<\/p>\n

As for her the state of her house, the police report says Pippen\u2019s sliding doors sustained \u201cmultiple impact marks,\u201d causing about $1 million in damage. CCTV footage she provided to authorities shows the suspects smashing the glass with a \u201clarge blunt object.\u201d<\/p>\n
