Venus Williams' Florida Home Robbed Of $400,000 During U.S. Open
Tennis star Venus Williams’ Florida home was robbed of $400,000 worth of possessions while she played at the U.S. Open in September, according to a police report released Thursday.
Burglars invaded Williams’ 10,000-square-foot residence between Sept. 1 and Sept. 5, according to a Palm Beach Gardens police report obtained by Michael Buczyner of CBS-affiliate WPEC. The stolen goods were initially revealed in the report but later redacted.
The incident happened when Williams played in the semifinals against Sloane Stephens during the U.S. Open in New York. The burglary was reported Sept. 5, and no arrests had been made as of Thursday.
Palm Beach Police had not publicly released the information about the burglary, which was first reported by WPEC. Williams was also part of a car accident in her Florida neighborhood last June that killed a passenger in the other vehicle. Palm Beach Gardens police never issued a public release regarding the incident, and it was not reported until TMZ broke the news three weeks later.
Williams, 37, has seven Grand Slam titles and reached the semi-finals in at the U.S. Open this year. She has endorsement deals with brands that include Tide detergent, Ralph Lauren and Kraft Foods.
