Multiple suspects have been arrested in connection with the burglary at the home of Cleveland Browns quarterback, Shedeur Sanders, Medina County (Ohio) police said on Jan. 7.
The Medina County Sheriff’s Office announced in a news release that it arrested three of the four suspects on Jan. 7. Police have also positively identified the fourth suspect, the driver, and issued a warrant for his arrest.
Sanders’ home was broken into during the Browns’ Week 11 loss to the Baltimore Ravens, the same game that he made his NFL debut. Police said that the thieves stole about $200,000 in property during the break-in, which occurred around 6:46 p.m. ET.
Surveillance camera at the residence captured the suspects entering and exiting different portions of the home. It involved three masked and gloved suspects entering Sanders’ home and taking items from the home until just before 6:58 p.m.
It was the latest in a string of break-ins to the homes of professional athletes.
Reigning NBA MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander told reporters on Nov. 2 that his home was broken into on Oct. 30. Like Sanders, the Oklahoma City Thunder guard was not home at the time of the crime.
The Kansas City Chiefs’ Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce both had their homes burglarized during early October of the 2024 NFL season and police also responded to a break-in at Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow’s home during a ‘Monday Night Football’ game on Dec. 9, 2024.
The NFL sent a memo to players following the incidents at Mahomes and Kelce’s homes, warning ‘organized and skilled’ criminals were targeting athletes’ homes for burglaries across sports.
