Four people were arrested late Tuesday and accused of trying to break into the California home of famed musician Dr. Dre – who was in the hospital recovering from a brain aneurism at the time, police and reports said.

A spokesperson for the Los Angeles Police Department told Fox News that private security spotted the quartet around 10 p.m. local time Tuesday on Chalon Road in Brentwood. The group ran from the area when the security team confronted them, but police ultimately caught up with them.
