In attempt to distract attention away from Tiger Woods, five armed intruders forced their way into Kobe Bryant’s gated Pelican Ridge neighborhood Tuesday night.
The Los Angeles Times reported Wednesday morning that Newport Beach police were notified of the robbery in the gated Pelican Ridge neighborhood around 10:15 p.m. when someone called 911 from the home’s backyard. Nine people were in the home, and three were attacked by the intruders. One victim was taken to a hospital while the other two were treated on the scene.
Three have been arrested in the robbery, but two other suspects are still at large.
Kobe was excused from practice earlier this morning, but is still expected to play against the Utah Jazz tonight at the Staples Center.
Tiger Woods is not a suspect in the armed robbery.
