The Wellesley Police Department responded to a call for a possible breaking and entering at a home near Beebe Meadow on Sunday, December 15 shortly after 8pm. As has been widely reported since, the home belongs to Boston Celtics playerJaylen Brown and his mother, and has been cited as another example of thieves possibly targeting homes of star athletes.
Officers checked the residence and confirmed there was an attempted break-in when they found a broken window. Residents were home at the time of the incident (the Celtics player was on the road for a game). It did not appear that anything had been disturbed inside the residence nor did it appear that anything was taken. There were no injuries.
The incident remains under investigation.
Wellesley has been something of a magnet for Celtics players and management over the years. After we made note that Malcolm Brodgon had moved to Wellesley upon joining the Celtics in 2022-2023, we got a request from hs security firm asking us to nix that mention from our site (we didn’t). We don’t publish the addresses of public figures, though, out of respect for privacy.
