Two girlfriends of New York Jets star running back Le’Veon Bell stole more than $500,000 in jewelry from his Florida home late last month, according to authorities.
Police say the women vanished with $520,000 worth of jewels when Bell left his Hollywood home on May 25 to go to the gym.
When Bell returned, the 27-year-old found his closet ransacked and all his jewelry — including a black panther pendant studded with black and white diamonds, two gold chains with diamonds and a Rolex watch — gone.
Police are still investigating the matter and the suspects names have not yet been released.
Bell did not play a snap last season after he decided to sit out when the Steelers hit him with the franchise tag. The team ended up releasing him for nothing and he signed a lucrative free-agent deal with the Jets.
The four-year, $52.5 million deal included $35 million in guaranteed cash, so Bell can replace the jewelry if he so chooses.
