Scheme To Burglarize Demi Lovato Uncovered By Cops

Demi Lovato's residence was the target of a home invasion by some would-be burglars, as learned by TMZ from Los Angeles law enforcement sources. 

After news broke that Demi would be leaving the hospital during her recovery from an alleged near death drug overdose, a group of thieves were arrested for planning a heist. Although they were not specifically targeting celebrities, electronic communications were discovered by police during an investigation that detailed plans to break in while she was away.

Once LAPD caught wind, extra patrols were added around Lovato's house to keep an eye on any suspicious activity in the area. So far their presence has warded off any break-ins or incidents while Demi is seeking mental health and addiction treatment.

New details have recently emerged surrounding the circumstances of Demi's overdose. Previously reported to be heroin, updates have alleged the substance triggering her crisis was actually Oxy laced with fentanyl. 

After a night of partying with friends in West Hollywood, TMZ alleges that Demi and her drug dealer freebased Oxycodone on tin foil. The dealer had unknowingly been provided with 'dirty drugs' from Mexico, and fled her home after noticing Lovato was breathing heavily on her bed. Friends found her the following morning at 11:30 AM and administered the narcan that saved her life. 

The dealer has since been reported to have had multiple previous run-ins with the law. According to TMZ, Brandon Johnson was booked during a drug bust in North Hollywood this March where police discovered him with a stash of guns including a semi-automatic handgun, narcotics and approximately $10,000 in cash. He was then arrested in June for cocaine possession.

Many celebrities have come out in support of Demi Lovato with public messages of encouragement. Recently Meghan Trainor told ET at the 2018 Teen Choice Awards:

We love you, Demi...you're so strong. We know you'll come back stronger than ever and I can't wait for her return.

The 'Cool For The Summer' singer is now back receiving treatment at a rehabilitation facility in California after stepping out for a few days to consult an addiction specialist in Chicago.
