University of Colorado football players and staff had jewelry, cash and other items stolen from their locker room at the Rose Bowl Stadium on Saturday during a 28-16 loss to UCLA.
The Pasadena Police department is investigating the situation, according to City of Pasadena public information officer Lisa Derderian.
A video on YouTube posted by Well Off Media showed players, including safety Cam’Ron Silmon-Craig, defensive lineman Amari McNeill and outside linebacker Derrick McLendon talking about having items stolen.
Darius Sanders, who helps chronicle CU football through his YouTube channel, Reach The People Media, posted a video Monday saying it was more than players that were impacted.
“Thieves came into our locker room and stole several players’ chains, several coaches’ chains and belongings,” Sanders said. “They stole multiple thousands of dollars out of my bag.”
Derderian told BuffZone that Pasadena Police, as well as Colorado and UCLA private security were on site, but it is “unknown who is responsible for guarding the locker room specifically.”
There are no surveillance cameras in the locker room.
A statement from UCLA reads: “The UCLA athletic department confirmed that a report was filed to the Pasadena Police Department following the UCLA-Colorado football game regarding items that were reportedly missing from the Colorado locker room. UCLA is in communication with law enforcement, Rose Bowl Stadium officials and the University of Colorado on the matter.”
