Charlize Theron robbed

Charlize Theron has become the latest victim of callous thieves who have turned the Hollywood Hills into a hotbed of crime.

The Oscar winner's home was targeted by robbers at the weekend, who broke into her estate, according to TMZ.com.

It is not clear if the actress was at home when the burglary took place.

There are also no details as to what was taken in the raid.

The year started off with Faith Hill and Tim McGraw falling victim to the Hollywood Hills crime wave.

Thieves stole an unspecified amount of money from their home in February.

And Duran Duran star John Taylor's Hollywood home was also hit by robbers.
