A man involved in the attempted break-in of Saquon Barkley’s home<\/a> has been taken into custody, a source told NBC10. <\/p>\n

The suspect has been identified as 24-year-old Jabir Parker, of Philadelphia, officials said<\/a>.<\/p>\n

According to the Montgomery County District Attorney’s Office, Parker is facing charges for two home break-ins and the attempted break-in of a third home that occurred in both Montgomery and Chester counties.<\/p>\n

The first break-in occurred at a home in Bryn Mawr on June 22, 2026, the D.A. said. The crime was reported to police the next day and 12 pieces of jewelry worth an estimated $106,700 were taken. <\/p>\n

The second break-in occurred at a home in Wynnewood on July 5, the D.A. said. Parker is believed to have gotten away with 28 pieces of jewelry worth more than $687,000. <\/p>\n

The attempted break-in occurred on July 18 at a home in Malvern, the D.A. said. Although the D.A. did not say who was the victim of the attempted break-in, it did occur on the same day and in the same area as where Barkley’s home was targeted while he and his family were inside. A source involved in the investigation confirmed to NBC10’s Brian Sheehan that Parker was behind the attempted break-in of Barkley’s home. <\/p>\n

“In the third burglary, the Malvern homeowners were awakened by suspicious sounds before finding an unknown male inside the home and calling 911,” the D.A. said. <\/p>\n

Barkley told NBC10’s John Clark that no one inside the home was hurt during the incident and that he was taking up extra security precautions. <\/p>\n

The D.A.’s office said that Parker was taken into custody on Sept. 1 by Lower Merion Township Police, along with the help of FBI SWAT, Pennsylvania State Police, the Philadelphia Police Department and the Pennsylvania Attorney\u2019s General Office.<\/p>\n

Officials said they were able to track Parker down through a number of pieces of evidence, including his cell phone and car. <\/p>\n

Detectives were able to use “geo-fencing” to identify Parker’s cell phone at the location of all three incidents at the time that they occurred, officials said. Investigators were also able to find a recording of Parker’s voice from a nanny cam in the second burglary, and that Parker was communicating with a getaway driver for all three incidents.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tNBC Sports Philadelphia reporter John Clark spoke In Depth with NBC10’s Lena Tillett about what Eagles star Saquon Barkley had to say after his home was broken into.\u00a0\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

An arrest of a getaway driver or an identity of a suspect have not been announced, but investigators said they are still looking for them.<\/p>\n

Investigators were also able to track down the white GMC Yukon Denali believed to have been used in Barkley’s break-in to a SIXT Rent A Car in Philadelphia, officials said. The car was rented by Parker on July 16 and returned about an hour and half after the attempted break-in at Barkley’s house was reported. <\/p>\n

Parker is facing multiple felonies, including burglary and conspiracy to burglary, and he remains in custody with $1 million bail, officials said. His next court date is scheduled for Sept. 10. <\/p>\n

Anyone with information on the getaway driver or where the stolen jewelry can be found are urged to contact police. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A man involved in the attempted break-in of Saquon Barkley’s home has been taken into custody, a source…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":277993,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[69,71,70,7113],"class_list":["post-277992","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-philadelphia","tag-philadelphia","tag-philadelphia-headlines","tag-philadelphia-news","tag-saquon-barkley"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/277992","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=277992"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/277992\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/277993"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=277992"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=277992"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=277992"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
