Increase in Trespassing Calls at Menendez Brothers House Worries Police on Halloween
Some true-crime junkies are getting way too pushy, trespassing at the former house of the Menendez brothers … and Beverly Hills police are dreading what that could mean for Halloween, TMZ has learned.
Here’s the deal … thanks to a hella popular Netflix series and doc … people have been swarming the affluent Beverly Hills location where Lyle and Erik Menendez brutally murdered their parents in ’89 … the duo later claimed it was a response to the severe lifelong abuse they endured.
Police tell TMZ … what were initially calls from pissed neighbors about an uptick in foot and car traffic — annoying, but not illegal — have now escalated to straight-up trespassing … and in one case, an apparent break-in caught on TikTok.
Now … police are worried it’s going to spiral into a bigger clusterf*** with Halloween right around the corner … so discussions are underway about how best to ward off any idiots seeking a spooky thrill.
For the moment … the house is empty as it undergoes major renovations … which has no doubt led to the brazen sightseers. It’s also definitely not helping that some Hollywood tour buses (but not TMZ!) have added the block to their route … unloading groups of people on the area.
Police have already stepped up patrols in the area to chill out irate residents … but we’re told more needs to be done as Halloween gets closer… maybe even private security, which is being recommended to property owners.
TMZ previously reported … Menendez Brothers-inspired costumes have become a hot-ticket item this season … so it’s not far-fetched to assume someone out there might be looking to get a creepy snap on location.
One thing is for sure … cops and neighbors sure as hell hope the Monster Mash is held elsewhere!
