Two men allegedly connected to the burglary of Brad Pitt’s home on Wednesday, June 25, have been arrested.
Jaquory Arman Watson and Damari Zair Charles, both 18, were arrested on Monday, Aug. 11, on first-degree burglary charges and a sentencing enhancement for allegedly committing the act in concert with another person. They allegedly targeted another residence in Orange County, Calif., on Thursday, Aug. 7.
They are being held without bail, according to Orange County court records obtained by PEOPLE. If found guilty, Watson and Charles could face up to six years in prison.
The pair was allegedly part of a group of people who had been breaking into several homes across Southern California. The arrest comes just over a month after Pitt’s home in the Los Angeles neighborhood, Los Feliz, was broken into on Wednesday, June 25.
The alleged burglary occurred at approximately 10:30 p.m. local time, after the suspects “broke into the residence via the front window,” the Los Angeles Police Department previously told PEOPLE. They allegedly “ransacked the location, then fled the location with miscellaneous property,” police said.
Pitt, 61, was not in the home at the time of the alleged burglary.
While Watson and Charles have been identified, the third suspect has yet to be publicly identified. The pair can face charges related to the Pitt burglary in the coming days, per NBC 4.

The Pitt burglary comes amid a string of celebrity home invasions in Los Angeles in 2025. Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban’s Los Angeles home was burglarized on Valentine’s Day. At the time, the burglars allegedly smashed a glass door or window to break in before ransacking the home and fleeing, police sources told NBC News, ABC News and TMZ.
After Pitt’s home was burglarized, someone attempted a burglary of Dodgers star Yoshinobu Yamamoto’s home in the Hollywood Hills on July 30, per CBS News.
Additionally, last summer, Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson’s Los Angeles home was also burglarized last year on Aug. 5, 2024, per ABC 7.
