Philadelphia Eagles star running back Saquon Barkley and his family were the victims of an attempted burglary of their suburban Philadelphia home over the weekend, police said, the latest break-in involving high-profile athletes in recent years.
Barkley and his family were not hurt in the incident, which happened around 5 a.m. Saturday, according to the Tredyffrin Township Police Department in Pennsylvania. Officers responded to Barkley’s home for a burglary-in-progress call, but when they arrived, the suspects had already fled, Capt. Tyler Moyer said.
At least one of the suspects was inside the house while Barkley and his family were home. Police are looking for at least two suspects and released a photo of a white SUV that may be connected to the case.
“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 said. “They were fine afterwards, obviously unsettled, as anyone would be.”
Chester County detectives are assisting Tredyffrin Township police, according to the Chester County District Attorney’s Office.
