Tyler Perry might as well live in Fort Knox … because we’re told his high-tech home security system helped prevent masked intruders from ransacking the place.
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ … four intruders wearing masks and gloves made their way to Tyler’s Los Angeles-area property early Wednesday night, where they were guarded by Perry’s 24-hour security team.
We’re told the intruders were spotted thanks to a thermal camera system and Tyler security chased the people down.
TMZ has obtained some images showing the intruders moving through the brush on Tyler’s property.
Our sources tell us one of the intruders dropped a bag in a ravine next to Tyler’s house, which was later found … and we’re told the bag contained tools often used by burglars.
We’re talking about pliers, screwdrivers, screwdrivers, gloves, a hat and a saw…plus a cell phone and other items commonly used in home invasions.
We’re told Tyler’s security called the LAPD … but by the time police arrived on the scene, the intruders were nowhere to be found.
Our sources inform that the police took a report for an attempted theft… but so far no arrests have been made, the investigation is ongoing.
Sources close to Tyler tell TMZ that he wasn’t home at the time and left before all the commotion due to some press commitments.
The lesson here … don’t mess with Tyler!!!
