Sabrina Ionescu latest pro athlete to be victimized by burglars

Sabrina Ionescu and her husband NFL offensive lineman Hroniss Grasu have become the latest pro athletes to be victimized by burglars. Their Los Angeles home was entered and more than $60,000 in handbags were stolen.

According to NBC Los Angeles:

Police responded to the professional athletes’ home at about 8 p.m. A security alarm was activated when someone broke a glass sliding window at the rear of the residence. Two thieves in ski masks broke into the house and stole several handbags worth more than $60,000, authorities said.

The suspects then escaped by car, their direction unknown. Ionescu and Grasu were not home at the time, police said. No arrests have been made in the robbery, and an investigation is ongoing.

Ionescu is the latest pro athlete to be victimized. A number of professional athletes have faced similar incidents recently, including Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and tight end Travis Kelce, Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow, then Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic and Oklahoma City Thunder MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.

Last month, the home of Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders’ home was burglarized while he was making his NFL debut against the Baltimore Ravens.

Indeed, the last December, the FBI sent a warning to professional leagues noting that there are organized gangs targeting athletes. Then in February, seven Chilean men are facing federal charges in Florida related to a series of high-profile “crime tourism” burglaries of six professional athletes’ homes — including Mahomes, Kelce and Burrow — between October and December.
