Bengals QB Joe Burrow’s Home Burglarized During Monday Night Game

Joe Burrow Ohio — Authorities have confirmed that Bengals starting quarterback Joe Burrow’s house was burglarized on Monday night during the game with the Cowboys. This is the most recent case in a worrying wave of break-ins affecting American sports stars.

There were no injuries caused during the event, but the Hamilton County Sheriff’s office states that the residence was turned upside down. Deputies are still working on what particular items could have been taken.

Burrow’s residence was broken into by an unidentified intruder who was reportedly able to gain access through the window. The household staff returned to find shattered pieces of glass in the bedroom and the general state was messy as well. The staff member then sought assistance from a family member and the other member of the family subsequently called the police by dialing 911.

Neighbors are being contacted to search for any available surveillance tapes that may help in the investigation.

“I am positive my investigators will leave no stone unturned trying to resolve this case,” said Kyla Woods who is the public information officer of the Sheriff’s Office.

Growing Concerns Over Athlete Burglary Trend

This incident is yet another in a growing list of professional burglaries of professional athletes this time accompanying Minnesota Timberwolves guard Mike Conley and his wife. In October, Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce for the Chiefs also had a break-in. Similarly, another NBA player Bobby Portis, defending champion with the Milwaukee Bucks, suffered a break-in at his house on November 2, reporting his house had been broken into while on September 15, his house was robbed during a game with the Minnesota Vikings.

The situation gets more intense as Portis puts up a bounty of 40,000 us dollars in cash on any leads, which will make way for an arrest in his case.

Security Alerts from the NFL and NBA

After these events occurred, both the NFL and NBA took out security precautions notices to their players, encouraging them to bolster home safety. As per the internal league correspondences accessed by The Associated Press, men, and women professional athletes have increasingly been victims of professional burglary syndicates.

In a memo about the NFL, there was a reference to these groups as ‘more organized and complex entities’ who use more advanced technology such as drones and jamming devices. An NBA memo, which contained FBI intelligence assessments, linked some of them to burglaries with the assistance of “international South American theft rings”. They are known to have such basic strategies of placing themselves as delivery people or joggers around the area to scout for opportunities.

Precautions and Recommendations

The athletes are urged to install sophisticated home security systems, reinforce their doors and windows, and cooperate with local police. This time, the police are also trying to deal with the expanding menace of such organized crime syndicates while investigations are underway.

For now, Joe Burrow and the rest of the professional athletes will have to be thinking about the consequences of such a tendency that is seemingly spreading among criminals.
