Eagles running back Saquon Barkley’s home was burglarized early Saturday morning, Tredyffrin Township police said. 
Officers were called to the Malvern home about 5:10 a.m. to reports of a burglary in progress, according to a police account. 
At least one person made it inside the home, Tredyffrin Township Police Capt. 
Tyler Moyer told The Inquirer. 
By the time police arrived, the burglars had fled. 
Barkley and his family were unharmed, according to police and a statement from Chester County District Attorney Christopher de Barrena-Sarobe. 
No arrests have been announced. 
“We are incredibly grateful that the Barkley family was not injured during this incident,” de Barrena-Sarobe said. 
A spokesperson for the Eagles could not immediately be reached for comment late Saturday. 
No additional information about the break-in or possible suspects were immediately available, but police were investigating a white SUV that may be connected to the crime. 
Authorities are also asking the public for home security footage or reports of suspicious activity. 
Moyer said there is believed to be no ongoing threat to the community and no other break-ins were reported. 
Anyone with information should contact Detective Sgt. 
Stephanie Bills at sbills@tredyffrin.org. 
This is a developing story and will be updated.
