Saquon Barkley, 29, and his family were unharmed after an attempted burglary at their home in Tredyffrin Township, Pennsylvania, around 5 a.m. ET on Saturday, August 10, 2026 [1, 2, 3]. At least one suspect entered the house while Barkley and his family were inside, according to police [1, 2]. Authorities are searching for at least two suspects and a white SUV believed to be connected to the incident [1, 2, 3]. The suspects fled before police arrived on the scene [1, 3].
Capt. Tyler Moyer of the Tredyffrin Township Police Department said, "They were home, and fortunately, as you know, with any situation like this, our main concern is that the residents of that home at the time were unharmed, which they were. They were fine afterwards, obviously unsettled as anyone would be" [1]. He added, "All of the occupants in the home were physically OK, obviously a little unsettled as anybody would be, but nobody was harmed" [2].
The Tredyffrin Township Police Department and the Chester County District Attorney's Office are investigating the incident [1, 2, 3]. Authorities have not announced any arrests and have not confirmed whether any property was stolen. The DA's office believes nothing was taken, but officials have not publicly confirmed this [2, 3].
Police are also working with federal law enforcement to determine if this attempted burglary is connected to recent burglaries targeting professional athletes across the U.S. [1, 2, 3]. In February 2025, seven men were federally charged in a string of burglaries involving NFL and NBA players, including Joe Burrow and Patrick Mahomes [1, 2, 3].
Barkley is preparing for his third season with the Philadelphia Eagles following a two-year contract extension signed in March 2025 that runs through the 2028 season [3]. He rushed for 1,140 yards in the 2025 NFL season and won NFL Offensive Player of the Year in 2024, helping the Eagles win Super Bowl LIX [3]. The Eagles training camp began on July 28, 2026 [3].
Details remain under investigation, with searches ongoing for the suspects and vehicle involved. Authorities have not confirmed precise numbers of suspects or if anything was taken. The case is being closely examined alongside other recent athlete-targeted burglaries.
