Armed cops swooped on the Jackson family estate in Encino, California estate on Friday, after responding to a burglary-in-progress call. Los Angeles Police Department officers with shotguns swarmed the family home of Katherine Jackson following a 911 call.

The five cops searched the home for a suspected burglar while a police helicopter circled overhead. However, the call was a false alarm, reports TMZ.com.

It is not known if any of the musical clan were at home during the raid.

The incident comes just days after the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) visited the home on Monday following a tip-off about an incident involving a stun gun.

Katherine Jackson denied reports Jermaine Jackson's son Jaafar attacked his cousin Blanket - Michael Jackson's youngest child - with the weapon.
