Police investigating break-in at home of Patriots' Gronkowski

Police are investigating a break-in at the home of New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski on Monday night, authorities confirmed to ESPN.

Foxborough Police Chief William D. Baker issued a statement Tuesday, confirming the break-in.

"There were items stolen," Baker told reporters. "We're not going to release the nature of the items stolen.

"Obviously the people who committed the theft know what was stolen. It's an investigative advantage for us to know that as well and not share it with the public, so I won't have any further comment on that."

While Baker would not specifically name what items are believed to have been stolen, a dispatcher was heard saying "multiple safes and possibly guns" were taken on a recording of a call with responding officers.

Police first arrived at the home at approximately 6 p.m. ET on Monday and remained on the scene for much of the night, according to reports.
