Former Disney star Adam Hicks was arrested with his girlfriend Wednesday morning, Jan. 24, in connection with an eye-catching number of armed street robberies in Burbank, authorities said.

“I’d say four street robberies back to back is pretty unusual,” said Burbank Police Department Lt. Claudio Losacco.

Burbank residents Hicks, 25, and Danni Tamburo, 23, were arrested in connection with the robberies, the Burbank Police Department said.

Hicks is perhaps best known from the Disney XD show “Zeke and Luther,” on which he played skateboarder Luther from 2009 to 2012. He appeared in 2015’s Jennifer Lopez-starring “The Boy Next Door,” and has a regular role in Hulu’s current high-schoolers-vs.-mutants series “Freakish.”

“I’ve heard of this,” Losacco said when asked about Hicks’ Disney Channel past. “It’s not something we’re interested in looking at.”

Hicks and Tamburo are both being held at Burbank City Jail in lieu of $350,000 bail and are due in court on Friday, Jan. 26, authorities said.

Losacco said the duo attempted four armed robberies, with two being successful. Police recovered a variety of property including a cellphone, wallet, necklace and credit cards.

“All the property has been recovered, as was the handgun we believed used in the robberies,” Losacco said.

“Our belief is the female was driving the car, and the male was doing the actual robberies,” the lieutenant said.

The series of robberies started around 5:15 a.m. Wednesday when a 52-year-old man was walking near Burbank Boulevard and Griffith Park Drive when a man with a handgun approached him, authorities said.

Authorities said the suspect pointed a handgun at the man and demanded his wallet before the victim ran away, fearing for his life and escaping to safety.

While authorities investigated the first robbery, authorities said, three additional armed robberies occurred within minutes of each other, with all taking place in the Burbank hillside community and involving unsuspecting victims out for a walk.

The victims gave similar descriptions of the suspect and his vehicle, which witnesses described as a dark-colored Kia with at least two occupants, authorities said.

Moments later, authorities said, a witness reported seeing a Kia matching the description on the 1600 block of Scott Road.

When police officers responded, authorities said, they found the car and detained a woman connected to at least one of the robbery suspects.

Losacco said authorities don’t believe that woman was aware of the robberies and didn’t drive the car during the robberies. She’s a family member related to Tamburo, he added.

Officers found property in the vehicle that belonged to one of the robbery victims and additional stolen property in a nearby area, authorities said.

Around 1:15 p.m., authorities said, Burbank Police Department detectives were led to a home believed to be linked to the suspects on the 1800 block of North Niagara Street.

Because of the nature of the crimes, authorities said, members of the Burbank police S.W.A.T. team helped serve a search warrant on the home, and Hicks and Tamburo were placed under arrest.

Losacco said officers on scene requested that the duo come outside of the house, and “they came out” with no issues.

They robbed two victims in their 70s, two victims in their 50s and one victim who was about 20, all within a couple miles, Losacco said.

“It was within 15 minutes,” Losacco said.

Tamburo was the driver, authorities said, and additional stolen property was found in the home during the serving of the search warrant.

There were no injuries as a result of the crimes, authorities said.

Anyone with information on the crimes is asked to contact the Burbank Police Department at 818-238-3210.
