Joe Burrow’s home was burglarized while he was away, raising concerns about a troubling trend of athlete break-ins.
She showed up at the house and found the place ransacked. According to the sheriff’s report, she called 911, saying, “Someone broke into my house.” Talk about a scary situation!
The break-in happened around 9:14 p.m. on Monday. Olivia’s mom even called 911 first, worried about her daughter being home alone. She told dispatchers, “Someone is trying to break into the house right now.”
Later, Olivia called herself, saying, “It’s like completely messed up.” Luckily, there was a security officer on-site during the incident.
The sheriff’s office confirmed the break-in but didn’t share many details. Burrow was out of town, so he couldn’t say what was taken. But Olivia gave the deputies a rough idea of what might be missing.
This isn’t just a one-off thing, either. There’s been a string of burglaries targeting athletes lately. Just last month, Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce both had their homes broken into while they were at a game.
Even the NBA isn’t safe—Bobby Portis and Mike Conley Jr. have also faced break-ins while they were away. Authorities think a South American crime ring might be behind these high-profile burglaries.
The NFL has warned players that their homes are increasingly targeted by organized groups. As of now, the sheriff’s office hasn’t confirmed if Burrow’s case is linked to the others, but they’re looking into it.
