Two Cleveland Browns Robbed, Carjacked Leaving Bar, Another Player’s Vehicle Stolen From Lot

Berea, OH – Two Cleveland Browns players were robbed by six masked men as they left a club in a suburb of Cleveland early on Monday morning.

The police report said that the National Football League (NFL) players left the bar at about 3:30 a.m. on June 5 and walked to a vehicle they had parked in a nearby lot, ESPN reported.

That was when six armed, masked men jumped out of another vehicle and robbed Cleveland Browns cornerback Greg Newsome II and defensive tackle Perrion Winfrey, according to police.

The gunman stole the NFL players’ jewelry and fled in Newsome’s truck, ESPN reported.

Police have not yet recovered the stolen vehicle.

Neither of the players were injured during the robbery, KNSD reported.

The cornerback alluded to the robbery in a social media post late on Monday night, ESPN reported.

“It’s a cruel world we live in,” Newsome wrote.

But Newsome wasn’t the only player on the Ohio football team to be the victim of car theft last weekend, ESPN reported.

Cleveland Browns running back Demetric Felton’s car was reported stolen from a Cleveland parking garage on Sunday morning, according to authorities.

At the team’s first mandatory minicamp on Tuesday, Cleveland Browns Head Coach Kevin Stefanski addressed the robberies and car thefts to the group, KNSD reported.

“I’m glad our guys are okay,” Stefanski said. “We want everybody to be safe and we want to get violent people off of our streets.”

The head coach said he had spoken with the Cleveland police chief about the crimes against his players on June 5 and the investigations were ongoing, ESPN reported.
