While theEuphoriastar, 27, was filming her new movie in North Carolina early on Monday, Oct. 14, she remotely helped law enforcement catch a burglar in her Los Angeles neighborhood, according toTMZ.

Via doorbell cam, Sweeney’s home security system allegedly alerted her to a person sneaking around her property, prompting the actress to contact the authorities. Law enforcement sources told TMZ that the trespasser moved onto the home of Sweeney’s neighbor, gained access to that home and fled with several goods.

PEOPLE has confirmed with the LAPD that a suspect was taken into custody near Sweeney’s L.A. home.

“Comments of the call stated there were possibly three suspects at the location,” the LAPD told PEOPLE in a statement about the arrest. “Officers requested additional units for a building search and were able to take one suspect into custody without incident.”
