The Colorado Buffaloes reported that multiple players had jewelry and other items stolen from their locker room during last Saturday’s 28-16 loss to the UCLA Bruins.
Head coach Deion Sanders condemned the act and implored the NCAA to do something about it. Now, according to ABC7 Los Angeles, a break has been made in the case as the Pasadena Police Department has announced having identified the thieves.
The authorities did not release any details pertaining to the identities of the culprits but did note that they were all juveniles.
“Search warrants were executed, and additional information will be provided soon as the investigation progresses,” a statement from the department reads
“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.”
Investigators also noted that several of the stolen items had been returned. However, there are items which are still missing.
As for the Buffs, they’ve been dealt another defeat, losing 26-19 to Oregon State Saturday night, and are now 4-5 after their blazing start to the season.
