Ryan Garcia’s Home Targeted Days After WBC Title Win

Police respond to reported attempted trespassing at boxer’s property

Police responded Thursday night to an attempted break-in at Ryan Garcia’s Los Angeles home, according to TMZ Sports. The suspect fled before officers arrived.

Law enforcement sources told TMZ the incident occurred around 9:35 p.m., when officers received a call regarding an attempted burglary at Garcia’s residence. By the time police arrived, the suspect was gone and a search of the surrounding area did not locate anyone.

It remains unclear whether Garcia, 27, was inside at the time. A security guard was reportedly present at the property, and police took reports for attempted burglary and trespass.

The incident comes days after Garcia defeated Mario Barrios in Las Vegas to win the WBC welterweight title. Garcia dropped Barrios early and went on to secure wide scorecards of 119-108, 120-107, and 118-109 over twelve rounds.

TMZ noted that burglaries and attempted break-ins have become more common among high-profile residents in the Los Angeles area. Dodgers pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto reportedly dealt with suspects attempting to enter his home last July.

For Garcia, the reported incident interrupts what had been a strong week following a championship performance that returned him to the top of the welterweight picture.
