 Foxborough police are investigating a burglary that occured at the Massachusetts residence of New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski while he was in Minnesota for the Super Bowl. 
 
 Foxborough police chief William Baker confirmed in a written statement that his department received a call about a residential burglary at Gronkowski's home at 6:18 p.m. on Monday, calling it "a routine property crime investigation." 
 
 In a press conference Tuesday morning, Baker said "there were items stolen" and declined comment when asked if the department had one or more suspects. 
 
 "Out of respect for the homeowner's privacy and because this remains a very active and dynamic criminal investigation, the police are not releasing any information about items stolen or possible suspects as this case moves forward," Baker said in a statement. "We will have no further comment on the case until the case is solved." 
 
 According to police scanner traffic reviewed by USA TODAY Sports, officers responded to a home linked through public records to Gronkowski, and a member of law enforcement said he spoke "with the homeowner there who was away on his trip. His house was broken into. Multiple safes, possible guns taken."

 The Foxborough police released Gronkowski's 911 call later Tuesday. Gronkowski opened with this: 
 
 "Hello, this isn't an emergency. This is just uh, this is Rob Gronkowski calling and uh, while I was gone, my whole house got robbed, uh, while I was on the Super Bowl trip. And I just got back." 
 
 Boston’s FOX25 reported that Gronkowski was seen at the Foxborough residence and police were at the residence for more than four hours. A neighbor told the station he noticed that the gate to Gronkowski's property was ajar early Sunday afternoon. 
 
 The Patriots returned to the Boston area Monday, hours after their 41-33 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LII in Minneapolis on Sunday night. Gronkowski had nine catches for 116 yards and two touchdowns in the game and made headlines in his postgame press conference, where he did not immediately commit to playing next season. 
 
 "I think it's kind of a tough combination, to have suffered this unfortunate loss and then to get home and be a victim of this kind of crime," Baker told reporters Tuesday.

– Celebrities have been warned not to give out their locations in real time for fear of opportunistic intruders entering their vacant homes. Unfortunately for Rob Gronkowski, just about everyone knew the New England Patriots tight end would be at the Super Bowl in Minneapolis on Sunday. Upon returning home from a 41-33 defeat around 5pm Monday, "Gronk" discovered his residence in Foxborough, Mass., had been broken into and called police, who spent five hours at the home, reports Boston 25. According to police audio reviewed by USA Today, officers stated "multiple safes, possible guns taken." "It's kind of a tough combination. You know, to have suffered this unfortunate loss and then to get home and be a victim of this kind of crime," says Foxborough Police Chief William Baker. A "very active and dynamic criminal investigation" is now underway, police add in a statement, per Deadspin. It's not clear when the break-in occurred—Gronkowski was reportedly last at the home on Jan. 29—but a neighbor says he saw a gate ajar on Sunday. "You never see that gate ajar. So, as a joke, my son and I said, 'Gee, maybe we should just call the police or something.' Now I'm sort of sorry I didn't," he tells Boston 25.
