This past Sunday, NBA veteran Mike Conley found himself in the spotlight at U.S. Bank Stadium, where he helped rally the Minnesota Vikings’ fans ahead of their game against the San Francisco 49ers.
Conley was a guest of honor, even getting the chance to sound the Gjallarhorn to kick off the event as the Vikings pulled off an impressive upset. However, unbeknownst to him, a more troubling situation was unfolding back at his home in Medina, Minnesota.
While Conley celebrated the Vikings’ victory, his sprawling residence was targeted by burglars. The Medina Police Department reported that Conley’s home was among three that were broken into on that day, all while the residents were away. Police Chief Jason Nelson confirmed that these break-ins were part of a worrying pattern affecting affluent neighborhoods in the area.
The thieves gained entry by breaking windows at the back of the homes and moved swiftly through each property, stealing jewelry from the master bedrooms.

Investigators believe the suspects may have conducted surveillance to identify when these homes would be unoccupied, suggesting a more organized effort rather than random opportunism. “It appears they may have been watching these homes carefully,” Nelson noted.
This incident sheds light on a growing concern in Medina, where multiple burglaries have been reported recently.
Each break-in occurred in quick succession, with police stating that the perpetrators were in and out of the homes in approximately five minutes. “All the residences were unoccupied at the time of the burglaries,” the Medina Police Department confirmed, indicating that this was part of a larger trend rather than a personal attack on Conley.
Though the exact amount of stolen jewelry is still undetermined, this series of crimes has left the community on edge. Conley has not publicly commented on the burglary, focusing instead on his preparations for the Timberwolves’ upcoming training camp, which kicks off on October 1.
