A woman has been accused of trying to steal Christmas gifts from the house of Hollywood actor Robert De Niro.
The incident occurred around 2:45 am on 19 December 2022. Police arrested the alleged serial burglar from the living room of De Niro's Manhattan home. De Niro, who had been upstairs, came down to the living room as the woman was being arrested.
Police said that the basement door that the woman used to enter the townhouse had signs of forced entry. Officers said that they had been tracking the 30-year-old woman after a string of recent robberies.
