CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Armed men broke into the home of Charlotte Bobcats player Stephen Jackson, locking his wife in a bathroom as they made off with a gun and some luxury items, police said.

The break-in happened early Wednesday while Jackson was in Texas for a basketball camp. His wife was home but was not injured by three masked gunmen who entered the home in a gated community of two dozen million-dollar homes, multiple media organizations reported.

Charlotte-Mecklenburg police had made no arrests as of Friday morning, Officer Rosalyn Harrington, a department spokeswoman, told The Associated Press.

Officers reported the thieves took a 9mm pistol, a ruby-encrusted wristwatch, a Louis Vuitton wallet and other items.

Jackson is a shooting guard who helped lead the Bobcats to their first playoff appearance last spring.

Public records list Jackson and his wife, Renata, as occupants of the $1.7 million home where they’ve lived since December, The Charlotte Observer reported. Jackson arrived in Charlotte the previous month after the team acquired his contract rights in a trade with the Golden State Warriors.

The 6,000-square-foot tan stucco home with three garages is owned by former Bobcats guard Jason Richardson, who was traded to the Phoenix Suns during the 2008-09 season.

Jackson, 32, could not be reached for comment. A Bobcats team spokesman declined comment Friday.

    Can we say SECURITY ALARM AND CAMERA…im glad she didn’t get hurt. Hate to say it…its only going to get worse.(JMO)

    They should’ve had to whole damn SECURITY ALARM AND CAMERA system “upgraded” or “totally changed” before moving in…especially living in a “high profiled” environment! (TMO)
    But, I’m glad to know that she is okay and was not injured/hurt.

    Well we know these ‘crimimnals’ where black. Only some dumb azzz brothas are going to pick the house on the block with some loui’ and some gold/platinum chains..etc…etc…Meanwhile the house down the road–probably had a multimillion-dollar painting on the wall..N#$%^’s. I was a big fan of Stephen Jackson when he was with the Warriors. He prooved our team ownership didn’t want the team to win. Because when Stephen started helping win games, they shipped his behind ut of there.

    point–2—Most importantly—I am glad, considering the element–that his wife was not physically harmed. These knuckleheads should be easy to catch–If Jackson didn’t have the proper cameras in place I bet the other neighbors did. Gated-Community?—Who was on the main-gate-the big bad wolf? excuse the typo–earlier–for the grammar hounds..

    I dont believe this story…i think it is a inside job even if they didn’t do it for the insurance then the security guard that expensive home owners have at the front gate to keep riff raffs away was in on this and how did they know that she would be alone? how did they know that on this day the husband was gone? why was just that house targeted? inside job.

    Anyone that has followed Stephen Jackson’s career will not find this hard to beleive. When Jackson was playing for the Indiana Pacers his car was shot up at a downtown night club. Jackson was involved in the Ron Artest brawl in Detroit and dont forget the 2 gun charges he which he was convicted. Jackson has long history of criminal behavior so who knows if he is somehow connected to the thugs who broke into his home.
    Todays sports figures need to make an honest choice between living like a so-called rap star and pretending life is a music video or just being who they really are. Athletes.
    Stop ‘Flossin’ and trying to be in the gossip column. Stephon Marbury got robbed at gun point while he was at a red stop light in East Ny (BRKLN) for 240,000 dollars worth of ice on his hand, wrist and neck. You dummies need to play ball and keep living a dream come true while the rest of us worry about the real trappings in life, bills, kids college what ever. We real people are living in a recession just work on your game, chase white trash women, invest your earnings and hire security.
