The home of Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley was burglarized early Saturday morning, according to Tredyffrin Township police. Officers responded to the Malvern, Pennsylvania, residence around 5:10 a.m. following a report of a burglary in progress. The suspects had fled the scene before police arrived.
Authorities confirmed that Barkley and his family were not harmed during the incident. It remains unclear whether anyone was home at the time of the break-in. Police have not yet announced any arrests, nor have they specified what was stolen, how the perpetrators gained entry, or how many individuals were involved.
Investigators are looking into a large white SUV that may be connected to the burglary. A photograph of the vehicle has been released to the public, with authorities requesting assistance in identifying it. The Tredyffrin Township Police Department indicated that there have been no similar reported incidents in the surrounding area. The Chester County District Attorney’s Office is collaborating on the investigation.
The incident occurs amid growing concerns about athletes being targeted by thieves. In February, federal prosecutors charged seven Chilean nationals in connection with burglaries at the homes of NFL and NBA players. These alleged burglaries targeted athletes who were away from their homes or participating in games, with the suspects accused of stealing over $2 million in cash, jewelry, and other valuables.
Barkley, 29, is preparing for his third season with the Eagles, with training camp scheduled to begin on July 28. He recorded 1,140 rushing yards in 2025, marking his second consecutive season exceeding 1,000 yards. The previous year, Barkley was named the 2024 NFL Offensive Player of the Year and was instrumental in the Eagles' Super Bowl LIX victory, setting an NFL record with 2,504 combined rushing yards during the regular season and playoffs. He signed a two-year contract extension with the Eagles in March 2025, which keeps him with the team through the 2028 season.
