An NBA player’s home was broken into and thousands of dollars worth of jewelry was stolen.
NBA guard Talen Horton-Tucker’s Los Angeles home was burglarized and $170,000 worth of jewelry was stolen. According to TMZ:.
Horton-Tucker was not at the home at the time of the break-in, but a house sitter who discovered what had happened called police.

Part of the break-in was captured on camera, and footage showed the burglar jumping over a rear fence to enter the property and exiting through one of the side yards, according to the report.
