Authorities are investigating an alleged burglary at the home of NASCAR legend Greg Biffle<\/a>, just three weeks after he and his family died in a plane crash in North Carolina.<\/p>\n

Deputies responded to Biffle’s estate in Iredell County shortly after 6 p.m. on Jan. 8, the sheriff’s office said. <\/p>\n

A backpack along with $30,000 in cash were reported missing from the home, according to authorities. Firearms and memorabilia were also reported stolen during the burglary, Dara St. John with the sheriff\u2019s office said.<\/p>\n

No arrests have been made and the case remains under investigation, the Iredell County Sheriff\u2019s Office said.<\/p>\n

Biffle, his wife Cristina and their two children, along with three other people, died in a plane crash<\/a> at Statesville Regional Airport in North Carolina on Dec. 18. <\/p>\n

The plane had crashed while trying to land on a runway at the airport, just about 10 minutes after taking off. The aircraft, a Cessna C550, was owned by GB Aviation Leasing, a company owned by Biffle, according to NBC affiliate WCNC<\/a> of Charlotte. <\/p>\n

The Federal Aviation Administration and National Transportation Safety Board Safety Board are investigating the cause of the crash.<\/p>\n

Biffle is a NASCAR Hall of Fame nominee and was named one of NASCAR\u2019s 75 Greatest Drivers, winning 19 NASCAR Cup Series races.<\/p>\n

He was also a pilot, and notably helped deliver supplies to victims in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene<\/a> in North Carolina via private helicopter last year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Authorities are investigating an alleged burglary at the home of NASCAR legend Greg Biffle, just three weeks after…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":409635,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[446],"tags":[49,48,634,82],"class_list":["post-409634","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nascar","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-nascar","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/409634","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=409634"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/409634\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/409635"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=409634"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=409634"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=409634"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
