PITTSBURGH (AP) - The town house of Steelers wide receiver Plaxico Burress was burglarized by three men accused of taking nearly $63,000 in jewelry, cash and other items before the team played the Buffalo Bills.
About 90 minutes before Sunday's game, a neighbor called police after he saw a man ring Burress' doorbell, climb onto a second-floor balcony and forcibly enter the home, police spokeswoman Tammy Ewin said Monday.
The man went inside and let in two others, Ewin said. The men ran away, but police caught them in a wooded area near the Allegheny River a few minutes later.
Police identified the suspects as Gary Dollman, 24, of Lower Burrell, and two 21-year-old men from New Kensington, Alfred Collymore and Victor Jones. They remained jailed early Monday, unable to post bond, and face a preliminary hearing Jan. 10.
The team had no comment Monday, Steelers spokesman Ron Wahl said.
....this reminds me of that story in the '70's or '80's about someone anonomously sending someone Redskins tickets in the mail, then robbing them while they were at the game. (Urban Legend I think)
