New York Jets player robbed at gunpoint near New Jersey home after being followed from NYC: report

A New York Jets player was one of two people robbed at gunpoint in the suburbs of New Jersey last weekend in what police say was a targeted heist, according to a report.

Authorities are now on the hunt for the armed hooligans who allegedly followed the couple more than 30 miles from Manhattan to a home in the Windmill Pond community before the terrifying holdup Saturday morning, the Morristown Department of Public Safety said on Facebook. 

Police responded to the quiet Morristown community around 8 a.m. after receiving several reports from neighbors of an alleged armed robbery.

A neighbor told NBC 4 New York that one of the victims is an NFL player for the Jets.

A witness reported seeing three men carrying guns get out of a dark-colored SUV and rob two people in a second vehicle at gunpoint, police said. 

“To be honest, I cannot make sense of what happened,” a witness, who chose to remain anonymous, told the outlet.

“I saw them take something from the garage – I was thinking ‘Oh my God, this is a robbery.”

It remains unclear which Jets player was allegedly robbed.

The alleged thieves made off with money and other valuables before fleeing the scene, police said, ᴀssuring the incident was an isolated matter.

No injuries were reported.

The incident remains under investigation, though no arrests have been made. 

“You have high-profile people that get targeted as they go out into the city and otherwise,” a neighbor told the outlet. 

“It’s disconcerting but there’s really nothing we can do about it. You just have to hope it doesn’t happen again.”

The Morristown Department of Public Safety and Morris County Prosecutors Office did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment.
