Pittsburgh, PA (My Sportsbook) - The town house of Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Plaxico Burress was invaded by three men, who are accused of taking $63,000 in jewelry, cash and other items before Sunday's game against Buffalo. About 90 minutes before kickoff, a neighbor of Burress called police after he saw a man ring the door bell, climb onto a second floor balcony and enter the home, police spokeswoman Tammy Ewin stated early Monday. After the man entered the home, he let two other men inside and they allegedly took a $40,000 Rolex watch and a gold crucifix, among other items. The men were eventually caught in a wooded area near the Allegheny River a few minutes later. Police identified the suspects as Gary Dollman, 24, and Alfred Collymore and Victor Jones, both 21. They remained jailed and unable to post bond. Burress' residence is located in the upscale Herrs Island neighborhood. Several other Steelers, including rookie quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and veteran running back Duce Staley, also reside in the area. His fiance, Tiffany Glenn, was at the store at the time of the burglary.
