Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello’s Hollywood neighbors are ‘hiring armed guards to deter burglars’… one month after the couple’s home was burglarized
Shawn Mendes and girlfriend Camila Cabello’s neighbors in the Hollywood Hills are reportedly equipping their homes with new security systems after an intruder burglarized the couple’s property.
Following the frightening break-in last month, which occurred while the singers were home, TMZ reports the couple’s neighbors are sparing no expense to secure their own safety by enrolling in a program offering armed guards to patrol their streets.
‘Folks who live near Shawn and Camila are spending $5,000 to $10,000 on new security cameras with floodlight censors designed to scare off burglars,’ the outlet reported, just weeks after perpetrators broke through a window of Cabello’s $3.4 million mansion and took off with the keys to Mendes’ Mercedes G-Class SUV.

Earlier this month, LAPD officers arrested a person for allegedly entering the couple’s home and making off with the singer’s luxury vehicle, which cost at least six figures.
It is said that law enforcement found the suspect after finding the key to Shawn’s car on their person when they arrested them over a separate trespassing call they had received last week.
The police later discovered the key was a match to Shawn’s G-Wagon, according to TMZ, who reported the suspect had been booked on two felonies, burglary and grand theft auto.

Shawn has since been reunited with his SUV, which was parked on a residential street, with no visible signs of damage.
Sources familiar with the home break-in told the site that police were called and quickly arrived at Cabello and Mendes’ home, however the thieves had already departed by then.
So far, it’s unknown if either of the singers had a run-in with the intruders before they made their hasty exit.

Cabello and Mendes have been nearly inseparable throughout the coronavirus pandemic, though they have mainly been staying at the former Fifth Harmony member’s home in Miami.
However, they recently switched coasts and moved into her Hollywood Hills home earlier in March.
The Cuban-born songstress purchased the centrally located house in 2019 for $3.4 million.
