According to the Morristown Department of Public Safety, the victims were likely targeted after a night out in Manhattan. The police are investigating and believe it to be an isolated incident.

Connection to Other High-Profile Athlete Robberies

This robbery follows a series of orchestrated thefts targeting high-profile athletes' homes. A Chilean gang has been charged with stealing millions of dollars worth of goods from athletes, including Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, and Joe Burrow. These burglars used rented cars, fake IDs, and burner phones, staking out their targets before breaking in to steal valuables. Their arrests were partly due to pictures they posted of their loot.

This recent incident highlights the security concerns facing high-profile athletes in the New York City area and beyond.
