FBI Investigates Break-Ins at Homes of Celtics Star Jaylen Brown’s Mother and Assistant Coach

The incidents are part of a larger pattern of burglaries targeting professional athletes, with no injuries reported but heightened concerns about safety.

Jaylen Brown’s mother’s Wellesley home was the site of an attempted break-in last Sunday while she and Brown’s nephew were inside; no injuries occurred, and nothing was reported stolen.
On the same day, the Newton home of Celtics assistant coach Amile Jefferson was burglarized, with his 2024 NBA Championship ring stolen while the house was unoccupied.
Both incidents occurred while the Celtics were on a road trip to Washington, D.C., adding to a string of burglaries targeting athletes during away games.
The FBI is investigating whether these incidents are connected to a transnational crime ring that has targeted high-profile athletes across the NBA and NFL in recent months.
The NBA and Celtics have issued warnings and are working with law enforcement to enhance security measures, emphasizing the importance of player and family safety.
