Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow's home burglarized while he was away
Incident at Joe Burrow’s Home: Another Possible Break-In in String of Robberies Targeting NFL Stars
For the second time in as many weeks, a high-profile NFL player has fallen victim to a burglary, with the latest incident targeting Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow’s home in Anderson Township, Ohio. According to a sheriff’s office report, Burrow was not present at the time of the incident, as he was busy playing in a Monday Night Football game against the Dallas Cowboys in Arlington, Texas.
911 Call Reveals Disturbing Details
A female employee of Burrow’s, who was staying at the residence, made a 911 call at approximately 9:14 PM, reporting that a bedroom window had been shattered and she believed an intruder was present. She was unsure what to do, whether to hide or flee, and instructed the dispatcher to send assistance to the scene. The incident report obtained by NBC News reveals that the employee received confirmation from police that someone was in the house while she was on the call.
The Latest Incident in a String of Break-Ins
This latest incident is part of a disturbing trend of robberies targeting high-profile NFL players. Just last month, Kansas City players Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce had their homes invaded. The NFL has issued a security alert to its teams and the players’ union, urging caution and steps to be taken to prevent future incidents. Burrow’s representatives have yet to comment on the incident.
A Pattern of Targets
What’s unclear at this stage is whether the burglary is connected to the previous incidents or if it’s a separate individual or individuals targeting NFL players. The FBI is investigating the matter as a transnational burglary spree, considering the potential targeting of high-profile athletes.
In light of these incidents, it’s likely that police departments nationwide will increase security measures for high-profile players, potentially posting patrol cars outside their homes whenever they’re playing away games. While the motive behind these burglaries remains unclear, one thing is certain: the NFL and law enforcement are taking the situation seriously and working together to prevent future incidents.
