Burglar Breaks into Arizona Diamondbacks Star Ketel Marte’s Home
In Scottsdale, Arizona, police reported a burglary at the home of Arizona Diamondbacks player Ketel Marte during the MLB All-Star break. Authorities stated that the incident took place on Tuesday night, coinciding with Marte’s participation in the National League’s victory over the American League in Atlanta.
During the break-in, several personal items and pieces of jewelry were taken. Fortunately, no one was home at the time. Police confirmed that the residence is believed to belong to Marte, with public records indicating he owns property in the area.
The investigation is ongoing, as police continue to gather evidence regarding this high-value residential burglary. The incident highlights a troubling trend, as many high-profile athletes have recently experienced similar thefts. These individuals are often targeted due to the valuable possessions they keep in their homes, and such crimes frequently occur when they are away for games.
In response to these rising concerns, the FBI has alerted sports leagues about organized crime groups focusing on professional athletes. The NFL and NBA have also issued warnings to players regarding their safety and security at home.
Just last month, authorities charged a man in Seattle with multiple burglaries involving the homes of well-known athletes, both active and retired.
As the investigation unfolds, it serves as a reminder for everyone, not just athletes, to remain vigilant and protect their homes.
