‘DWTS’ star Brooks Nader tells police she’s scared of suspected intruder

Scary moment at home for Brooks Nader … the Sports Illustrated cover model claims someone tried to gain entry to her home … and now the police are involved.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ … Brooks called police to her rental home in Bel Air last week after she claimed she was the victim of a possible burglary attempt.

According to our sources, Brooks told police two men and a woman showed up at the gate to her property and were denied entry, but one of them made it past the gate and onto her property.

Sounds like Brooks was shocked because we’re told she called the police and told them she feared for her safety after losing sight of the alleged intruder.

According to our sources, Brooks has asked police to increase patrols in her area … and we’re told police are honoring her request and conducting additional patrols near her rental home.

Brooks is featured on this season of “Dancing With The Stars” and her relationship with her “DWTS” partner Gleb Savchenko has attracted a lot of attention.
