According to CNN affiliate WLWT, Joe Burrow’s home was the target of a break-in while the Cincinnati Bengals quarterback took on the Dallas Cowboys in Texas on Monday night.

CNN has reached out to the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office in Ohio, Burrow’s representatives and the Bengals for comment. The NFL told CNN that the league had contacted the Bengals but declined further comment.

According to WLWT, the sheriff’s office confirmed the break-in, which the television station said occurred in Anderson Township, but did not provide any further information.

Last month, the NFL – as well as the NBA and NHL – warned teams that organized and sophisticated groups were attempting to break into athletes’ homes, even when the players were not at games.

The NFL’s most recent security bulletin to teams noted that thieves “appear to be taking advantage of teams’ schedules to target athletes’ homes on game days.”

The criminals use multiple methods to find out where professional athletes live and when they will be away from home – including public records, social media and news reports – as well as their own surveillance of the properties, the bulletin said.

WLWT cites two 911 calls: one from a woman who said her daughter was in the home at the time, and the other from the woman’s daughter.

“Someone broke into my house,” the woman’s daughter said in the call posted on WLWT’s website. “It’s completely messed up.”

The television station said the person was heard talking to a man inside the home who the dispatcher confirmed was working for security at the residence.

WLWT also reports, citing radio traffic, that an officer was at Burrow’s home that night.

This is a developing story and will be updated.
