In the latest home invasion by a professional athlete, Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow’s home was broken into on Monday Night Football, authorities said Tuesday.

According to a report from the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office, no one was injured in the break-in, but the home was searched.

Officers could not immediately determine what items were stolen. A person employed by Burrow arrived at the Anderson Township home Monday evening to find a broken bedroom window and the home in disarray. According to the report, the person called his mother and then 911 was contacted.

Officers reached out to neighbors to compile surveillance footage.

“Our investigators are looking at all possibilities,” public information officer Kyla Woods said.

In October, the homes of Chiefs stars Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce were broken into. In the NBA, the home of Milwaukee Bucks forward Bobby Portis was broken into on November 2nd, and the home of Milwaukee Bucks guard Mike Conley Jr. was broken into on September 15th while he was at a Minnesota Vikings game Minnesota Timberwolves, collapsed.

Portis had offered a $40,000 reward for information.

Both the NFL and NBA issued security warnings to players following these break-ins, urging them to take extra precautions to secure their homes.

In league memos previously obtained by The Associated Press, the NFL said the homes of professional athletes in various sports are “increasingly the target of break-ins by organized and skilled groups.” And the NBA revealed that the FBI has linked some break-ins to “transnational South American theft groups,” which are “alleged to be well-organized, sophisticated rings that utilize advanced techniques and technologies, including pre-surveillance, drones and signal jamming devices.”

According to officials, some of the burglary groups conducted extensive surveillance of targets, including attempting home deliveries and posing as groundskeepers or neighborhood joggers.
