The mom of Boston Celtics star Jaylen Brown had her home broken into amid a string of home invasions among athletes and their families.
On Sunday (December 15), Brown's mother was hit with a home invasion in Wellesley, Massachussetts while she was in her residence, per PEOPLE.
The suspects allegedly believed they were breaking into Brown's home, per a source with the Wellesley Police Department. Celtics assistant coach Amile Jefferson also had his home broken into on the same night. Thieves reportedly stole an NBA championship ring.
The Wellesley Police Department said officers "responded to a call for a possible breaking and entering at a residence located in the Grove Street Neighborhood of Wellesley on Sunday."
“Officers checked the residence and confirmed there was a break-in,” the department added. “Wellesley detectives responded to the scene and are currently investigating.”
Both robberies occured while the Celtics were playing the Washington Wizards in Washington D.C. on Sunday night. The incidents come amid a string of break-ins at other high-profile athletes' homes while they are out of town for an away game or playing a game at their home stadium.
Robbery victims include NFL stars Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, and Joe Burrow, as well as the NBA players Bobby Portis and Mike Conley Jr.
