MUMBAI: Miley Cyrus' Los Angeles home was robbed on 16 December 2014. According to prosecutors, a large quantity of her and her brother's property was stolen from the 22 year old American singer and actress’ Toluca Lake home.

The alleged thief, Rusty Edward Sellner was arrested on Monday for the offence and entered pleas for the same. However, he was pleaded not guilty when the case went to court on Wednesday.

The Los Angeles police department's north Hollywood division is investigating the alleged burglary.

Sellner will face a preliminary hearing at the Los Angeles county superior court, van nuys branch on 20 January 2014. He could face up to seven years and eight months in state prison if convicted.

Sellner has previous convictions for burglary and evading arrest.

This is the second burglary for Cyrus in less than a year and a third time in two years that her home has been targeted by thieves.

In May, thieves broke into her San Fernando Valley home and took clothes, purses, jewelry and a 2014 Maserati that was later abandoned. An Arizona couple went to prison for that break-in.
