Hollywood’s not the only celeb-stuffed region where thieves are targeting the homes of stars. Last week, celebrity chef Jamie Oliver had a run-in with a would-be burglar in the London suburb of Highgate, according to the Daily Mirror (via Page Six). “Jamie was alerted to something wrong when he heard a massive commotion coming from his neighbor’s house,” said a source. “He was set to investigate but before he knew it, he was face to face with the burglar himself as he tried to smash his way into his house as well.” Rather than simply let the authorities deal with the trespasser, Jamie reportedly chase after the man as he ran away from Jamie’s eight-bedroom home. He managed to catch up with him and hold him on the ground before his driver and a group of neighbors approached to offer their help. Police later took the suspect into custody. The Mirror reports a person believed to be the same man tried to break into Kate Moss’ house, which is also in Jamie’s neighborhood. He was reportedly scared away by someone inside.
