Theis, a native of Germany, is hardly the only athlete to be targeted in Los Angeles
Theis, a former German league star, is far from the only athlete being targeted in Los Angeles.
His Clippers teammate, Ivica Zubac, has almost been robbed several times.
Additionally, Boston Celtics great Paul Pierce’s LA home was robbed of more than $100,000 in cash and luxury watches in March.
In a separate incident, Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Demarcus Robinson was robbed at gunpoint in October. He reportedly lost $100,000 worth of jewelry during the robbery.
Conversely, former New York Giants running back Derrick Ward is accused of a series of burglaries in the LA area.
Ward, who was part of the Giants team that defeated Tom Brady and the undefeated Patriots to win Super Bowl XLII in 2008, was arraigned in Los Angeles Superior Court in May.
Ward was arrested last December in connection with the robberies of several businesses, including gas stations, TMZ reported at the time.
Police said the former athlete did not use a gun in any of his alleged robberies, but he is accused of using “violence” and “fear” to get money from the stores.
His bail was set at $250,000.
