Inside the Spate of Athlete Burglaries: Luka Doncic's Stolen Jewelry and More

Recently, a police report unveiled that burglars made away with $23,000 worth of jewelry during a break-in at Luka Doncic's residence in the upscale Preston Hollow neighborhood. The incident, which occurred late last month, saw intruders using an unidentified object to gain access through the rear master bedroom window.

Law enforcement officers swiftly responded to the scene at Doncic's home shortly after 10:30 p.m. on Friday, December 27. The victim listed in the report is Anamaria Goltes, Doncic's fiancée, although specific details regarding the stolen items were not disclosed.

This burglary at Doncic's home marks the second high-profile athlete incident in North Texas and is part of a concerning pattern of break-ins targeting prominent professional players across the country.

Not long before Doncic's unfortunate incident, the home of Tyler Seguin, a seasoned Dallas Stars leader and seven-time NHL All-Star, was also burglarized in November. The FBI suspects that organized crime rings are specifically honing in on athletes, with a keen interest in cash and easily resalable items like jewelry, watches, and luxury bags.

Dallas police records indicate that officers were alerted to a burglary at Seguin's North Dallas residence around 10:30 p.m. on November 29. The police report highlighted that unidentified individuals entered the property and made off with valuables.

Seguin's burglary took place while he was engaged in a Stars home game, compounding the unfortunate event as he sustained an injury that required surgery for a femoral acetabular impingement on his hip, potentially benching him for six months.
