Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow is the latest NFL star to have his home burglarized while he was in a game.

Burrow was playing on the road in Dallas for the Monday Night Football game against the Cowboys, The Washington Post reported.

The Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office said no one was hurt but his home was ransacked, The Associated Press reported.

One of Burrow’s employees discovered that a window in a bedroom had been broken and called their mother who called 911, WLWT reported.

“Someone is trying to break into the house right now. My daughter is there. This is Joe Burrow’s house. She is staying there. He’s at the football game. She’s wondering what she should do, if she should be hiding, or if she should go outside,” the woman told 911, according to the news station. “She said someone was in the house.”

The woman staying at Burrow’s home also called 911 and could be heard on the recordings talking to a man who was working security at the residence.

Deputies asked neighbors for surveillance video to see if they could find out who broke in.

It is not known if anything was taken, the AP reported.

Burrow is the latest pro athlete whose home was targeted by thieves this year.

In October, the homes of Kansas City Chiefs Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes were both broken into while they played against the New Orleans Saints, The Washington Post Reported.

Dallas Cowboys defensive lineman Linval Joseph and NBA players Bobby Portis and Mike Conley were also both targeted when they were at sporting events.

The NBA warned its players that the FBI said “transnational South American Theft Groups” were responsible for some of the break-ins. The crime syndicates are “reportedly well-organized, sophisticated rings that incorporate advanced techniques and technologies, including pre-surveillance, drones, and signal jamming devices,” the AP reported last month.

The league said the FBI determined that the rings, “are primarily focused on cash and items that can be resold on the black market, such as jewelry, watches, and luxury bags,” the AP reported.

The NFL security teams sent organizations a warning that athletes’ homes “have become increasingly targeted for burglaries by organized and skilled groups,” adding, “these groups appear to exploit team schedules to target athletes’ homes on game days,” The Washington Post reported.

It is not known if Burrow’s break-in is related to other pro-athletes’ burglaries.
