Kirsten Dunst robbed by hotel thieves

Monday, August 27, 2007

Kirsten Dunst was robbed of designer handbags, cash, credit cards and other items when thieves broke into her Manhattan hotel this month.

The Spider-Man star was not in the exclusive penthouse suite at the SoHo Grand Hotel at the time.

Court records said that one of the handbags was worth $13,000, while $2,500 in cash, credit cards, digital cameras, a cell phone and an iPod were also stolen.

Dunst was in New York filming for her next movie How to Lose Friends and Alienate People. She had apparently left the hotel suite early on the morning of August 9.

Later that day, thieves managed to sneak into the room and make off with the stolen items. However, they were captured on surveillance camera and already one man is facing burglary and larceny charges in relation to the robbery.

A lawyer for the suspect, Jarrod Beinerman, said the surveillance camera showed his client was not carrying anything when he left the hotel. However, Beinerman, was being held on a $50,000 bond after being arrested Tuesday while in court over an unrelated matter.

Authorities have apparently recovered credit cards, IDs and the cell phone.

Dunst has been dating Razorlight frontman, Johnny Borrell for a number of months now, in what appears to be her most serious relationship since she split up with Jake Gyllenhall three years ago.

25-year-old Kirsten Dunst is most well known for her role as Mary Jane Watson in all three of the Spider-Man films which shot her to stardom. However, she has also starred in Marie Antoinette and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, and other major movies.
