It Could Happen Anywhere

On Sunday, September 20, football Buffalo Bills player Dontae Whithers home was burglarized sometime after the teams victory over Tampa Bay. Mr Whithers reported that $400,00 worth of jewelry was stolen. Because of the on going investigation, few details were released from Hamburg Detective Lt. Kevin Trask.

The details that were released did not include a possible time frame or if it were a forced entry robbery. However, Whither reported the theft at ten pm shortly after the teams victory. The only given confirmation wa that the burglary was at the home of a Bills player.

Whither described the robbery as “very disappointing” after a team meeting on Monday. He also added that no one was hurt and confirmed police dusted for fingerprints.

Incidentally , last week team mate Leodis McKelvins front yard was vandalized by teenagers after the Bills lose to New England. Detective Trask let the press know the vanadlism was a seperate incident from the robbery. Whither was only allowed to answer four questions before a Bills official requested the press move on to football related topics. NFL Players Association rep saftey George Wilson was quoted as saying “Crime happens whether you are in a big city or whether in a rural community like Hamsburg.. It’s very unfortunate.”
