Surveillance video showed the suspects in action before officers even arrived. Pinecrest Police were en route to a house alarm at 67th Avenue and 113th Street when dispatchers relayed that footage already showed a burglary in progress. What followed was a chase through suburban Miami that ended with three men from Georgia in custody.

Treison Lache Booker, 23; Cortez Day Mon Johnson, 23; and Elijah Eugene Russell, 18, were arrested Sunday and face several charges, including attempted burglary of an unoccupied dwelling, after allegedly attempting to force their way into the Pinecrest home of "Real Housewives of Miami" star Larsa Pippen. Two of the suspects face an additional criminal mischief charge; one faces a charge of resisting an officer.

Investigators said the men shattered several windows at the residence but never made it inside. Surveillance footage showed one man hammering at a door on the home's back patio while another, wearing a hoodie, stood nearby. The two were also seen attempting another entrance before leaving the property.

When officers arrived, a vehicle was already fleeing the scene. It crashed at the corner of Southwest 57th Avenue and 94th Street, and all three men ran on foot toward a nearby neighborhood. Police took them into custody within minutes. Video captured the chase's end, including officers pulling one of the suspects from brush before placing him under arrest.

No one was hurt in the attempted break-in.

Pinecrest Police said evidence suggests the home may have been specifically targeted, though investigators have not elaborated publicly on what led to that conclusion. The department addressed the incident in a Facebook statement: "This incident serves as a stark reminder that Pinecrest will not tolerate criminal activity."

Pippen, who appeared on "Real Housewives of Miami" during its 2010 debut season and returned for its 2020 revival, has not issued a public statement on the incident. Her representatives did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

All three men remain jailed as the investigation continues.
