Super Bowl winner Richard Sherman robbed by armed thieves before his birthday as police launch investigation

Super Bowl winner Richard Sherman robbed by armed thieves before his birthday as police launch investigation

Former Seattle Seahawks star Richard Sherman has released security footage of the armed men who robbed his home while his wife protected their children at the property.

‘House being robbed at gun point with my family in it isn’t what anyone wants for a birthday gift,’ Sherman wrote on X alongside two grabs from his security footage. ‘Scary situation that my Wife handled masterfully and kept my kids safe. If anyone has any info that can help find these people please reach out.’

Footage shows two men walking into the home wearing masks and heavy jackets. One of the men is seen brandishing a pistol. 

One man from Covington, Washington replied to Sherman, explaining that there had been similar robberies in his neighborhood. Sherman responded by requesting a direct message from the man, while adding that ‘they got 5 homes from what the police told us.’ 

Beyond that, much remains unclear, including the exact whereabouts of Sherman’s wife Ashley and their children, Rayden and Avery, during the robbery. 

Police are investigating the March 29 burglary, according to TMZ.

Moss also reacted to the robbery on social media, according to TMZ, which did not specify her platform. 

‘People are so sh***y!’ she wrote. ‘Come in my house middle of the night with guns and threaten my family!!! Let me tell you .. you messed with [the] wrong one!!!’ 

Sherman, a former Super Bowl winner and one of the elite cornerbacks in recent NFL history, turned 37 on Sunday.  He currently works as an NFL analyst for Amazon Prime. 

Many of the world’s biggest sports stars, including Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes, have fallen victims to thieves over recent months.

The worrying trend has seen criminals target the mansions and possessions of players from across the NFL, NBA, NHL, MLS and college sports – sometimes during games.

At the end of last year, the FBI sent a warning out to professional sports leagues about crime organizations targeting professional athletes.

Cops have launched a multi-state investigation into the spate of robberies, many of which – according to the authorities – are the work of a sophisticated crime ring. 

To be clear, there is no public proof that the men who robbed Sherman and his family are tied to the other robberies in various parts of the country.
