Hollywood star Sydney Sweeney has earned neighborhood brownie points for quickly acting to call the police when her security system warned her that a prowler was on her property and when the crook broke into her neighbor’s home, officers nabbed the guy.
The Euphoria star was not home on Monday when her security system alerted her to the prowler lurking around her Los Angeles property. But even though the intruder left her property without doing any damage, she called the police anyway, according to TMZ.
It turns out alerting the authorities was a good move because the guy allegedly broke into her neighbor’s home and ransacked the place.
But because Sweeney called the police, they were able to get to the area quickly enough to catch the guy nearby.
The suspect was apprehended and charged with felony burglary, according to the site.
L.A. has been suffering a huge crime wave over the last several years and it has touched many celebrities with car thefts and home invasions.
