Marlon Wayans’ $5.3 million house in the illustrious celebrity neighborhood of Encino’s Amestoy Estates fell victim to a burglary.
The 51-year-old actor, perhaps best known for his work in Scary Movie, happened to be away from home during the robbery, but his older brother, Keenen Ivory Wayans, 66, was present as two audacious thieves pillaged the estate in the early hours last Saturday.

Law enforcement sources informed TMZ [3] that the burglars trespassed into Marlon’s backyard and made a forced entry by smashing a back window to infiltrate the home.
Although Keenen was reportedly roused from his slumber by some commotion, he apparently failed to grasp the severity of the situation, brushing it off before returning to bed.
An insider revealed that “one of Marlon’s staffers returned to the house around 8:00 AM and discovered the place had been ransacked.” Keenen was astounded to learn that the thieves had absconded with a safe containing several thousand dollars in cash.
The police have initiated an investigation and are meticulously combing the neighborhood for any potential video footage that could yield leads.
As of now, no arrests have been made.
