Another NFL player’s home was broken into as Falcons defensive back Antonio Hamilton Sr. got burglarized early Friday morning.
TMZ Sports obtained an incident report from the Roswell Police Department, stating that cops were called to Hamilton’s home around midnight after his security camera captured three men ransacking his residence.
The report states that the suspects broke through a backdoor with a hammer/mallet while Hamilton Sr was on vacation. They then took a safe and bolted out in minutes.
According to the documents, cops deployed K9s upon arrival to find the thieves but did not locate them.
Furthermore, the documents note that authorities found the safe near a fence in Hamilton’s residence. They detailed that the safe contained ‘firearms and multiple handbags.’
Hamilton is celebrating his 32nd birthday on Friday and appeared to comment on the incident on Instagram, sharing a bible verse that read, “And since you don’t know when that time will come, be on guard! Stay alert!”
Falcons defensive end Antonio Hamilton Sr. became the latest victim of NFL burglaries
NFL stars Travis Kelce and Joe Burrow’s homes were broken into by in late 2024
The burglary at Hamilton’s comes after four Chilean nationals were arrested in connection with the recent burglary of Joe Burrow’s $7.5million home in December.
According to TMZ, the group – who cops reportedly claim were ‘illegally in the country or overstayed their permissions’ – were found with LSU and Bengals gear, which is suspected to have been taken from Burrow.
The quarterback became the latest NFL star to be the victim of a burglary in the middle of a game.
Hamilton County (Ohio) sheriffs last month confirmed the break-in in the suburb of Anderson Township, while Burrow was 1,000 miles away – facing the Cowboys at AT&T Stadium.
The men – identified as Alexander Chavez, Bastian Morales, Jordan Sanchez, and Sergio Cabello – were reportedly taken into custody on January 10 following a traffic stop in Ohio.
They are due in court on Tuesday. But, according to TMZ, none is currently facing burglary charges.
That is despite the group being in possession of Husky automatic center punch tools, said to be used regularly by the ‘South American Theft Group’ to ‘break glass and enter into houses.’
Besides Burrow and Hamilton, Travis Kelce’s home was also burglarized late in 2024.
Last week, the burglaries expanded leagues as Cleveland Cavaliers guard Ty Jerome’s home was broken into during the Cavs’ road trip.
