Minnesota Timberwolves point guard Mike Conley’s home in Medina was burglarized while he attended the Minnesota Vikings’ NFL game against the San Francisco 49ers. Conley, who recently signed a two-year, $21 million extension with the Timberwolves, participated in the pregame ceremony at the Vikings’ home stadium. As he helped energize the crowd of over 66,000 fans for the game, burglars targeted his suburban residence several miles away.
Details of what was stolen or damaged have not yet been disclosed, and authorities are actively investigating the incident. Conley has not made a public statement regarding the burglary.
According to The Minnesota Star Tribune, police confirmed that Mike Conley’s home was one of three properties burglarized in the Medina area last Sunday. All of the targeted homes were unoccupied at the time of the break-ins. Authorities suspect that at least two individuals are responsible for the burglaries, but no further details about the suspects or what was taken from the homes have been revealed. Police are continuing their investigation into the incidents.
The burglars who targeted Mike Conley’s home and two others in Medina reportedly made off with an undetermined amount of jewelry after breaking in through ground-level windows at the back of each property. They are believed to have entered bedrooms and stolen valuable items, with each burglary lasting about five minutes.
Medina Police Chief Jason Nelson suggested that the thieves may have conducted prior surveillance or figured out the homeowners’ patterns before carrying out the break-ins. Surveillance footage captured an image of a car fleeing Conley’s home, which authorities believe is connected to the suspects. Police are continuing to investigate.
