JEFFERSON PARISH, La. — JEFFERSON PARISH, La. — The Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office says two suspects are in custody and two more are wanted after a burglary at the home of New Orleans Saints defensive end Cam Jordan.
Sheriff Joe Lopinto confirmed Tuesday that the break-in happened Sept. 14, while the Saints were playing the San Francisco 49ers. Deputies believe the burglars struck while Jordan was away for the game.
Investigators say the suspects drove from Georgia to Louisiana in a rental car, targeted Jordan’s home, and returned the same day. Detectives tracked the vehicle through surveillance footage and license-plate data, leading to a stop in Conyers, Georgia, less than 24 hours after the crime.
Two suspects — Donald Robinson, 28, of Stockbridge, Georgia, and Jadon Brown, 19, of Conyers, Georgia — were arrested and remain in custody in Georgia. Two others, Jahan Suber, 20, and Develle Ortiz, 19, both of Conyers, are still wanted.
Lopinto said some of Jordan’s stolen property was recovered, but he declined to share details out of respect for the player’s privacy. The FBI and U.S. Marshals Service are now involved in the case, and federal charges could follow.
The sheriff said this burglary appears similar to a string of cases across the country targeting professional athletes during games. “We can’t always prevent crime,” Lopinto said. “But what we can do is solve it quickly to prevent the next one.”
He added that deputies often provide extra patrols for players who request them on game days and plan to increase those efforts going forward.
In a direct message to WWL Louisiana, Cam Jordan thanked investigators for acting quickly and said his family is safe. He added that the FBI worked with his family after the break-in and helped them upgrade their home-security system.
Local security specialists say Jordan’s case is a reminder that safety comes from layering protection, not relying on a single device.
“There is no such thing as a safe neighborhood — everywhere, you have to be aware,” said Tony Vu, co-owner of Hi Tech Smart Homes & Security.
“Most people think, ‘I have an alarm system, I don’t need cameras,’ or ‘I have cameras, I don’t need an alarm system,’” added James Vu. “Everything works hand in hand with each other.”
