Man arrested after allegedly breaking into Kim Kardashian’s $60 million estate, taking car for a drive

On Sunday, August 9, Los Angeles police arrested a 27-year-old man named Trey Mendel after he allegedly broke into Kim Kardashian's $60 million Hidden Hills estate. According to prosecutors, Mendel entered the property and stole a car belonging to one of Kardashian's staff members, driving it around the neighborhood before being apprehended.

Kardashian and her four children were not at the estate at the time of the incident. The family has been temporarily residing at a nearby rented home while the main property undergoes renovations. The $60 million estate, built in 2014, spans approximately 15,700 square feet and features eight bedrooms, ten bathrooms, and various luxurious amenities.

This is the latest in a series of security-related issues Kardashian has faced; in 2016, she was robbed in Paris at gunpoint by assailants posing as police officers who stole over $6 million worth of jewelry. Kardashian, known for her reality TV show "Keeping Up with the Kardashians," has not commented publicly on the current break-in.
