Nearly 100 000 Was Stolen From The Home Of Former Raptor Vince Carter In Atlanta

ATLANTA (AP) – Nearly $ 100,000 in cash was seized in a burglary at the home of former NBA player Vince Carter in Atlanta over the weekend, according to an incident report released Wednesday by Atlanta police.
Two guns and more than $ 16,000 were later found outside the 10,000-square-foot (900-square-foot) home in the affluent Buckhead neighborhood of Atlanta.  Carter told police the money recovered was a small share of $ 100,000 in cash he kept in a bag in a closet, the report said.
According to the report, Carter’s wife, Sondi Carter, was in bed with her two sons when she heard loud noises around 11:50 pm on Sunday.  They hid in a closet and called 911 and then texted her neighborhood patrol.  A neighborhood patrol officer who was the first law enforcement officer to arrive saw a man fleeing in a black SUV but failed to catch him, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported.
Neither Sondi Carter nor her children were injured, but police said a front window in the main house was broken.  Outside, police found “a large sum of $ 100 spilled on the ground,” along with a gold Desert Eagle pistol and a black Glock 26 pistol with an extended magazine, the report said.  The desert eagle belonged to Carter, but investigators believe Glock was carrying the suspect, the incident report said.
While he was in the closet, Carter later told police, he could hear someone searching various rooms upstairs.  According to the report, many rooms were in disarray and a gate at the top of the stairs had broken its hinges.
Fulton County property records show that the house, built in 2016, belongs to Vince Carter, who played 22 seasons in the NBA before retiring with the Hawks in 2020. Carter bought the house, which is about one and a half acres ( 0.6 hectares) of land, for almost $ 7 million in August 2020, property records show.
A list of properties described the property as a “family complex” with “asynchronous home security” that includes 16 CCTV cameras.  A fence also appears to surround the house, including an electronic gate on the road.
Police have not publicly identified a suspect, but a report of the incident said a fingerprint from the suspect was collected from the spot.
Carter, who now works as an NBA analyst for ESPN, has not responded to requests for comment from the newspaper.
