Joey Bosa did not make the list of celebrities who were burglarized in Los Angeles, but that did not stop the authorities from acting quickly.

Los Angeles police officers recently pulled up at the NFL star's home after a security alarm was triggered. They raced to his residence, prepared for a possible fight, but experienced a surprise.

The ordeal at Joey Bosa's home comes at the heels of multiple break-ins in recent months. Former NFL star Reggie Bush was nearly burglarized days earlier but foiled the plot.

False Alarm Triggers Police Raid On Joey Bosa's L.A. Home

The drama at the Los Angeles Chargers linebacker's home reportedly occurred late Monday afternoon. A video from the incident captured multiple police officers storming the residence with their weapons drawn.

According to reports, the LAPD received a call about a possible burglary at Bosa's Los Angeles-area home around 5 p.m. Cops were alerted about the potential threat after the residence's security alarm went off.

Officers believed the suspects were inside Bosa's home when they stormed the place, which was why they entered with their guns drawn. However, a thorough sweep of the property revealed no burglars or forced signs of entry.

Baffled by the lack of a crime, TMZ shared that authorities obtained the home's surveillance video, which revealed the shocking reason behind the alarm.

The Burglary Threat Was An Illusion

After combing through the surveillance video, officers discovered the burglary threat was nothing more than an illusion. The security alarm appeared to have been triggered by a gust of wind.

Meanwhile, shadows made it seem like someone might have been inside the house. While the incident would make a good story for Bosa to laugh off with friends, other celebrities haven't been as lucky.

The rate of burglaries in Los Angeles has been increasing at an alarming rate, with former NFL player Reggie Bush nearly joining the list of victims. The Blast reported that he foiled the robbery attempt on his mansion days earlier.

The terrifying incident occurred on Tuesday, September 10, when three men attempted to invade Bush's home. The LAPD noted that someone heard a window shattering, and broken glass was found outside the property.

However, the suspects could not steal anything, thanks to Bush's quick response. His cries for help forced the men to flee the scene, and they were later spotted leaving the area, per authorities.

The former NFL player broke his silence about the incident days later, reassuring fans that "everyone is safe." The attempted robbery came months after Bush reclaimed his Heisman trophy following a 14-year battle.

Bush won the prestigious Heisman trophy at the peak of his college football career but lost it in 2010 following a scandal. An NCAA investigation revealed he had accepted benefits while at USC, clearly violating the rules.

Bush was forced to return the award, and it took 14 years of cries for change before the NCAA's new "Name, Image and Likeness" (NIL) policy was formulated. The law allowed college athletes to profit from their brand.

Thanks to the NIL policy, the Heisman Trust announced on April 24, 2024, that the trophy would be returned to Bush. He commemorated the outcome with a picture of the award alongside the caption, "No one can take from you what God has for you."

Joey Bosa Was Carted Off The Field Following An Injury

Last November, The Blast reported that Bosa had to be wheeled off the field in the first quarter of the football game against the Green Bay Packers. He got injured while making a tackle and was forced to limp towards the sidelines.

Bosa was later seen on the back of the cart, crying into his towel. His removal from the field came weeks after Minnesota Vikings wide receiver K.J. Osborne took a brutal hit during a match on November 5.

He was sandwiched between two NFL players and remained on the field for several minutes. Players from both teams were concerned about Osborne, kneeling by his side before he was carted off.

Joey Bosa has made a splashy return to the Los Angeles Chargers with nine tackles and two sacks. He is expected to join his team against the Steelers in Pittsburgh for Sunday's game.
