Los Angeles police responded Monday to a trespassing call at the Los Angeles home of Olympic champion Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone after security footage showed two men strolling through the couple’s yard, authorities said. Officers took a trespassing report, and the men reportedly left once they realized they were on camera. It was not immediately clear whether anyone was inside the home at the time. The case remains under investigation.
Security camera shows two men on property
According to NBC Los Angeles, surveillance video captured two men walking through the yard who, when confronted, told officers they “did not have time to deal with cameras” before taking off. LAPD logged the incident as a trespassing report and, as of that outlet’s reporting, no arrests had been made.
McLaughlin-Levrone and her husband
Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone, 26, is a multi-time Olympic gold medalist and the world-record holder in the 400-meter hurdles, according to ESPN. Her husband, Andre Levrone Jr., played football at the University of Virginia and later had stints with several NFL teams, including the Baltimore Ravens, Carolina Panthers and Jacksonville Jaguars, per The Spun.
Neighboring incidents and safety
High-profile homes across Los Angeles have faced similar trespass and attempted-entry calls this year, a pattern that has neighbors and public figures paying closer attention to security. Earlier this spring, for example, actor Dylan Sprouse detained a trespasser at his Hollywood Hills property, as reported by NBC Philadelphia, a case that underscored how quickly these encounters can escalate.
Investigators ask for tips
Police say the McLaughlin-Levrone incident remains under investigation and confirm that a formal trespass report was taken. NBC Los Angeles reports its journalists reached out to McLaughlin-Levrone’s representatives for comment. Anyone with information is urged to contact the Los Angeles Police Department or submit an anonymous tip to LA Regional Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS, per LA Regional Crime Stoppers.
