Team Miley is on high alert.

Disney security officers have warned the Los Angeles Police Department to be on the lookout for a man who was arrested in Georgia last month for allegedly trying to contact Miley Cyrus during a film shoot.

LAPD spokesman Richard French tells E! News that L.A.'s Finest received a tip giving them a heads-up about one Mark McCleod, who was taken into custody June 23 after trespassing on the Tybee Island set of The Last Song, the Nicholas Sparks-based Mouse House movie starring Cyrus, Kelly Preston and Greg Kinnear.

After being tipped off, French said the LAPD reached out to Tybee Island Police and requested a copy of the arrest report to keep on file "in the event that at some future point [McCleod] would come to L.A., where Miley lives, and attempt to make contact with her."

The move, he adds, was purely a "precautionary measure."

The 16-year-old Hannah Montana star is all too familiar with fanatics.

Last October, a 19-year-old Tennesseean named Josh Holly went on the lam after the FBI raided his home and accused him of hacking into Cyrus' email account and publishing scantily clad photos of her in her underwear online. He has yet to be apprehended.
