Sydney Sweeney is a good neighbor — even when she’s not home.

While the Euphoria star, 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 to TMZ.

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.
