Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow's home was burglarized during Monday Night Football. The residence in Anderson Township, Ohio, was extensively searched, with a broken bedroom window discovered, as reported by the Hamilton County Sheriff's Office. Though it remains unclear what items may have been taken, the break-in is in line with a concerning trend targeting professional athletes across the US. A person employed by Burrow alerted authorities after discovering the havoc.
The incident reflects a wider series of security breaches concerning sports stars. Recently, the homes of Kansas City Chiefs' Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce were also targets, as well as NBA players Bobby Portis and Mike Conley Jr. In response, both the NFL and NBA have issued alerts urging players to reinforce home security. Bobby Portis went as far as offering a $40,000 reward for information regarding his home burglary.
In an alarming revelation, the NFL and NBA attribute many of these break-ins to organized theft groups. The NBA indicated that the FBI has linked the thefts to transnational South American operations utilizing advanced methods such as pre-surveillance, drones, and signal jamming. Investigators note some burglars have disguised themselves as delivery personnel or neighborhood joggers as part of their intricate planning to infiltrate athletes' homes.
