Encino has been a hot spot for home burglaries recently, but burglars were unable to get into the house Reggie Bush.
His Heisman Trophy is safe.
The former USC and NFL star said he was at home in the San Fernando Valley on Tuesday night when an attempted burglary occurred.
“Everyone is safe,” Bush said in a text message to The Times.
The Los Angeles Police Department confirmed to The Times that officers responded to a burglary call around 11 p.m. on the Encino neighborhood where the 2005 Heisman Trophy winner lives. LAPD Officer Charles Miller said a resident of the home reported hearing a window break and that broken glass was found outside the home.
Nothing was stolen during the attempt, Miller said.
Miller said the suspects are three men who were dressed in all black and left the scene in a white crossover vehicle before police arrived. A report was taken and an investigation is being handled by West Valley detectives, Miller said.
Bush was a star running back U.S.C from 2003-2005 — helped the Trojans win Associated Press national championships in 2003 and 2004 and win the BCS title in 2004 — and spent 11 seasons in the NFL, win the Super Bowl with the New Orleans Saints after the 2009 season.
In 2011, USC was stripped of its 2004 BCS championship, and in 2010 Bush was forced to forfeit his Heisman Trophy amid the NCAA’s determination that he had accepted improper benefits as a player. Bush began lobbying publicly to have his trophy returned in 2021, after the NCAA changed its rules to allow athletes to be compensated for use of their name, image and likeness.
In April, The Heisman Trust officially reinstated Bush as the 2005 winner. Last week, the Trojans removed his No. 5 jersey.
