NEWS:Looks like Chris Brown may have been robbed by his own gang

Last month Chris Browns home in Calabas was broken into by armed bandits who tied his aunt

stole money and jewelry. New evidence suggests Chris may have been robbed by a street gang called Bloods that he is affiliated to. TMZ reports after the cut.

There's a hot lead on who robbed Chris Brown of $50,000 ... and our sources say they're closing in on a few known associates of the Bloods. Law enforcement tells TMZ, they have video of the car that fled Chris' Tarzana house after the robbers held a gun to his aunt's head and made off with the $50k. Some good detective work led cops to a gas station near Chris' home, where they checked surveillance video and saw the getaway car.

Our sources say cops now have a partial license plate, which has led them to Compton and someone who may be a member of the Bloods, a group in which Chris has had ties. Detectives are interviewing some of the locals and we're told they're closing in on the culprits.

My plead is you watch your friends closer and your enemies from afar.
