New details emerge regarding Roquan Smith robbery case

By Connor Riley, DawgNation staff
May 5, 2018

There are new details regarding the reported robbery in Athens of former Georgia linebacker Roquan Smith, whose helmet and jersey were reportedly stolen. It appears that much more was taken from Smith, a first-round pick of the Chicago Bears in the 2018 NFL Draft.

Athens Police took a report on the incident at 11:45 a.m. Saturday, DawgNation has learned. The items were taken not from Smith’s home, but from his car. Items that were taken, in addition to his helmet, Rose Bowl and national championship jerseys include:

iPad belonging to the Chicago Bears
4 pairs of headphones
Bluetooth
Watches
Sunglasses
Nike athletic shoes
UGA 2017 football helmet
UGA 2017 football jersey
UGA 2017 Rose Bowl jersey
UGA 2017 national championship jersey
It is believed that the robbery occurred at some point from 5 p.m. Friday to 11:30 a.m. Saturday. At this time, the full report was not complete but it is unknown how the perpetrators broke into the car.

Earlier Saturday, Smith’s aunt posted to Twitter that someone had broken into Smith’s home and stolen his helmet and jersey. The iPad belonging to the Bears, along with the other items, were not described in the note Smith’s aunt posted to Twitter.

Below is the note that Smith’s aunt posted.



Smith is one of the most accomplished Georgia players in recent history, winning the 2017 Butkus Award. Last week, Smith was taken with the No. 8 pick in the draft by the Chicago Bears. He was the first Georgia and SEC player taken in the draft.

Came across this and hadn't heard anyone else mention it.

Hope the Bear's iPad was password protected.

And a shame about losing his helmet and jerseys

Those Ipads can be bricked remotely. I dunno why anyone bothers with them. Sucks about his championship uniform though.

Some more information.

The iPad was not password protected but that is ok, it was John Fox who stole the iPad. He was reported to have said, "the magic picture frame seems to have some football plays on it but also some kind of nonsense called a forward pass."

Can be, if they connect to a network. Even then, I'm guessing the Bears don't hand them out without passwords.

If it belongs to the Bears, doesn’t that mean Smith stole it in the first place? Imabearsfan thinks this pick sucked.

Damn, figured football players would be untouchable in Athens. People never cease to amaze how low they'll stoop.

I'm sure that iPad was killed as soon as he found out it was missing.

He's keeping his Bears issued laptop amongst other things in his car? HIS CAR? What an ignoramus. There's your future star on defense everybody.

Must’ve been an inside job. Besides the electronics, why steal the uniforms? Those can be traced and can be never sold.

Like Smith but I hope that car was in a garage. Don't leave that shit overnight in your parked car.

School year is almost over. Probably getting ready to move out and become a Bears’ legend.
