Bryan Box, known for his role as Jamie Garrison in the Netflix series '13 Reasons Why,' was arrested in California for burglary and theft of elderly residents

Actor Bryan Box, known for his role as Jamie Garrison in the Netflix series '13 Reasons Why,' has been arrested for allegedly burglarizing and stealing from elderly residents in California.

According to the San Francisco Gate, Box, 23, a former caregiver, is accused of ransacking the homes of several residents in the Bay Area, where he used to work prior to his acting career.

Police say Box 'exploited' his role in the web TV series, and entered the properties of his said former clients, who he charmed while speaking of his recent successes.

The newspaper reports that Box was caught after police connected him to a series of burglaries in the vicinity.

He was 'linked to six burglaries' total - added up to a total of $50,000 stolen items.

Among the items, were a Social Security card, jewels, prescription medication and a laptop computer, according to SF Gate.

Back in the fall, police confiscated a portion of stolen items from a pawn shop in the area, where the actor had visited and also spoke of his newly-found fame.

Box was arrested at his home in Vallejo on December 29 and charged with nine counts of felony charges for burglary, possession of stolen property and theft from elderly.

Other stolen valuables heisted from his ex- elderly clients were found inside his family's Vallejo's home.

Box was booked to jail but later released on bond of $250,000.

He is set to appear in Marin Superior Court on January 16 for his arraignment.

Producers of '13 Reasons Why' have not yet shared comment on the shocking matter.

The young actor landed his role as a student in the 2017 controversial series about suicide through a Facebook post inquiry.

The manager of the pawn shop also revealed Box had boasted about his recent notoriety - and lied to him about where the valuables came from.

'(The manager) was able to physically describe defendant and knew about his recent notoriety from the television show '13 Reasons Why,' court documents said, according to the Marin Independent-Journal.

The 'defendant allegedly told (the manager) he had come into possession of a lot of jewelry due to the recent death of an aunt.'
