No one dares to pilfer from Deion Sanders’ team and escape unscathed.
Local authorities have made significant headway in the high-profile theft that transpired at the Rose Bowl last weekend.
The Pasadena Police Department announced in a recent statement that they have identified the culprits behind the jewelry and personal property theft from Colorado’s locker room during their game against UCLA at the Rose Bowl. All the suspects are juveniles, and no further details, including their ages, have been disclosed.
The police department’s statement read, “Search warrants were executed, and additional information will be provided soon as the investigation progresses,” the statement from the police department read, per ABC7 in Los Angeles. “The Pasadena Police Department would like to thank those who reported leads to our tip line. The information and support are invaluable and play a crucial role in helping us ensure safety and security in our community. Our detectives worked diligently to follow up on all leads, which resulted in the quick execution of search warrants. The investigation will be ongoing.”

Following last Saturday’s game, which saw the Bruins triumph 28-16, several Colorado players disclosed that their chains and various pieces of jewelry had been stolen from their visitor’s locker room during the contest. Video footage of their discovery of the theft is available here.
Colorado’s head coach, Deion Sanders, expressed particular outrage over the theft and made a substantial request to the Rose Bowl authorities to address the situation. ABC7 reports that many (though not all) of the stolen items have been returned to Colorado’s players as investigators continue to conduct interviews and review video evidence.
It is indeed disheartening that such young individuals are involved in jewelry theft.
