Video Shows 4th Burglary in 18 Months at Dodgers Player’s Property

Los Angeles Police Department released new surveillance video on Sept. 26 of a burglary at Dodgers outfielder Yasiel Puig’s San Fernando Valley home, which marks the fourth time the baseball player’s property has been targeted in 18 months.

The incident was reported around 8 p.m. on Sep. 18 in the 5300 block of Louise Avenue in Encino. The released video shows two suspects with their heads covered ransacking the player’s bedroom.

According to a statement from LAPD, three men in their 20s were involved in the incident. Two suspects broke into the residence and found a safe, which they moved from the second floor to the front door entrance and left there. The suspects then fled the scene in a Toyota black sedan with paper plates.

It is estimated that the damage resulting from the burglary cost around $10,000. Police didn’t say what was stolen but noted that the suspects are believed to be the same group of people who attempted to break into the same residence on Aug. 3o around 11 p.m.

There are two other reported burglaries at the baseball player’s house in recent months.

In March of 2017, around $170,000 worth of property was reported stolen from the player’s residence in Sherman Oaks, California. In November of the same year, Puig’s San Fernando Valley home was burglarized, which happened during Game 7 of the World Series.

Authorities didn’t reveal whether the other two burglaries were related.
