Ackerman, 32, was accused of targeting “high-end celebrity homes that were for sale,” police say, and he often posed as an interested buyer or real estate broker during open houses.
“People didn’t challenge him when he walked into their houses. When he showed up, he was dressed to the nines. He acted the part,” LAPD Detective Jared Timmons said of how police believed Ackerman was able to allegedly gain access.
As of Jan. 15, the police were still trying to find the rightful owners of many of the high-priced items, and even created awebsitewith the stolen merchandise in an attempt to help people claim their belongings.
