Two years after multiple NFL stars had their residences burglarized while they weren’t home, the home of Eagles running back Saquon Barkley was invaded on Saturday while he and his family were inside.
In addition to trying to solve the case, the authorities will attempt to determine whether the incident is connected to any of the criminal groups that target athletes.
“We will look at all angles of this because we know, obviously, it’s been all over the news in the past few years about different professional athletes’ homes getting burglarized,” Capt. Tyler Moyer of the Tredyffrin Township Police Department told WCAU-TV, via ESPN.
At least one suspect entered Barkley’s home.
“They were home, and fortunately, as you know, with any situation like this, our main concern is that the residents of that home at the time were unharmed, which they were,” Moyer told reporters. “They were fine afterwards, obviously unsettled as anyone would be.”
Police are searching for at least two suspects.
In 2024, Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, and Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow were among the victims of a crime ring that has since been disrupted, with multiple arrests.
