Jaylen Brown's Mother's Home Burgled in Wellesley

Celtics star Jaylen Brown was excused from practice after a break-in at his mother's Wellesley home while she and his nephew were inside. Fortunately, no items were reported stolen, and both individuals were unharmed. This incident is part of a troubling trend, as high-profile athletes including NFL stars Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce have also experienced similar break-ins, often occurring while they are away at games. The NFL and NBA have issued warnings about organized burglary groups targeting athletes' homes, often exploiting game schedules and gathering intelligence through surveillance and social media. Law enforcement is investigating the possibility of these burglaries being linked to sophisticated transnational crime syndicates. The NBA and NFL have provided recommendations to athletes for enhancing home security and limiting social media presence to mitigate risks.
