HOUSTON (AP) — Tom Brady and his missing jersey have still not been reunited.
The investigation, which is being led by the Houston police department’s Major Offenders division, has so far not turned up any leads on who swiped the jersey, Houston Police Executive Assistant Chief George Buenik said Tuesday.
Brady’s jersey was taken from the New England Patriots’ locker room at Houston’s NRG Stadium after the team’s 34-28 victory over Atlanta in the Super Bowl on Sunday.
Buenik said officials are aware the jersey is considered valuable.
“We want our top investigators on this case and hopefully we’ll make an arrest and more importantly recover that jersey for Tom Brady.”
Investigators are also working to obtain video, including from some news cameramen, that might have caught the crime on tape.
“We are asking all the cameramen to check your video to see if they may have captured something,” Buenik said. “Police investigators maybe contacting you so we can look to see in an attempt to identify everybody in that locker room at the time.”
Crime Stoppers of Houston will also be offering a reward for any information leading to the stolen jersey and to the arrest of the person who took it, Buenik said.
“Our Major Offenders squad deals with all kinds of specialty cases.”
