Overview
- Authorities arrested 24-year-old Jabir Parker and charged him with felony burglary, conspiracy and related offenses; he is being held on $1 million bail and has a preliminary hearing set for Sept. 10.
- Prosecutors allege Parker carried out two completed overnight burglaries in the Philadelphia suburbs that produced nearly $800,000 in stolen property and the removal of a safe.
- The DA's office says the Bryn Mawr break-in produced 12 pieces of jewelry valued at about $106,700 and the Wynnewood incident yielded 18 items of jewelry valued at about $687,000 plus a safe.
- CBS News Philadelphia reports, citing an anonymous source, that an attempted July break-in in Malvern/Tredyffrin Township targeted Eagles running back Saquon Barkley’s home and that Barkley’s family was home and called police; that detail has not been confirmed by the DA.
- Investigators say the probe is ongoing, the Montgomery County District Attorney is leading the case, and additional arrests or evidence gathered at upcoming proceedings could change the scope of charges and losses attributed to the ring.
