Two suspected burglars reportedly break and enter the Las Vegas home of "Danke Schoen" singer Wayne Newton on Wednesday, June 13.

The longtime entertainer and his wife, Kathleen, was on a show when the crime allegedly happened. When the couple arrived home, the suspects fled from the scene. By Thursday, June 14, the police have still been searching for the unnamed trespassers.

Wayne Newton Reports Suspected Burglary

It remains unknown whether the suspected burglars were able to take anything from the estate. Authorities are still in the process of investigating the case.

However, the 76-year-old is already taking extra precautions. He told the Las Vegas Review-Journal that they are bolstering their security system and has added armed guards in the location to prevent future break-ins.

"We are grateful for the officers' fast response and attention to this incident," said Wayne and Kathleen in a statement. "We are confident that our home surveillance video will lead to the apprehension and arrest of these individuals."

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Wayne and family moved into the property back in 2013. Their home is different to Casa de Shenandoah, the famous 40-acre estate that has been transformed into a public museum after a bankruptcy sale.

Casa de Shenandoah features pools, gardens, and stables for the singer's Arabian horses. It also houses different exotic animals including penguins and kangaroos.

Unfortunately, it was closed last month for renovations. No word yet on when it will be reopened to the public.

Newton has lived in Las Vegas for 60 years. He is known for hits such as "Red Roses for a Blue Lady" and "Daddy Don't You Walk So Fast."

Wayne Newton Continues To Dazzle

While he has been performing since he first rose to fame in 1959, the renowned singer said he is not slowing down any time soon.

 If we have a God-given gift at all as performers, it should be used to bring smiles to people's lives," he stated to St. Louis Post-Dispatch in November 2017. "As long as I see that, my existence is justified. I'm in great health, and there's no reason to say, 'Oh, I'm going to do this another two years.'"

He added that as long people want to see him onstage, he will continue to perform. Wayne still has scheduled concerts at the Bally's in Las Vegas until August this year. Aside from musical performances, the longtime entertainer also gifts his audience with stories about the Sin City, Frank Sinatra, and  Elvis Presley.

"The show has evolved into something that is a lot of fun and well-accepted, thank God," he added.
