Sources: DeSean Jackson’s House was Robbed
By Kyle Scott
Published:
Two sources tell me that DeSean Jackson’s house in South Philadelphia was burglarized at some point over the last few days. Over $100k in jewelry, plus cash, and at least one handgun, was stolen. I’m told there were no signs of forced entry and that DeSean’s mom noticed last night when she went to check on the house. His room had been ransacked. DeSean hasn’t been home (his Instagram places him in Miami). His guns were said to have been in a safe.
Cops were on the scene overnight, which is when the picture, sent by a tipster, was taken.
UPDATE: CBS confirms and provides these strange details [my source says police now believe only one handgun was stolen]:
South Philly home of @DeseanJackson10 burglarized. At least $250k in cash & jewelry plus two handguns stolen, per @PhillyPolice

We get to Desean's house, met by two blacked-out SUV's, three men loading a flat screen TV from inside into unmarked moving van.

UPDATE 2: FOX says it was $250k in cash and $175k worth of jewelry. Their video after the jump.
