Philly man arrested in Barkley home break-in tied to multi-county jewelry thefts

A 24-year-old Philadelphia man, Jabir Parker, was arrested in connection with the attempted break-in of Saquon Barkley’s Chester County home and two earlier jewelry thefts in Bryn Mawr and Wynnewood. Prosecutors say Parker burglarized Bryn Mawr on June 22 (12 pieces worth about $106,700) and Wynnewood on July 5 (28 pieces worth over $687,000), and then attempted to break into Barkley’s Malvern home on July 18 while Barkley and his family were inside. Investigators used geo-fencing, a nanny-cam recording, and a getaway-driver link to identify Parker, who was arrested September 1 with help from multiple agencies. He faces multiple felonies including burglary and conspiracy; bail is $1 million with a Sept. 10 court date. Authorities are asking for information on the getaway driver and the whereabouts of the stolen jewelry.

Indiana trio tied to cross-country cemetery-niche thefts

Indiana residents Drake Lee Milam (33), Angela Christine Garrett (52) and Porsche Roschell Bancroft (32) were arrested for breaking into mausoleum niches containing cremated remains and stealing jewelry across the eastern United States. Florida officials say at least 20 cases have been identified in the state, with items like wedding rings and other mementos taken. The trio allegedly traveled through multiple states before Milam and Garrett were arrested and Bancroft surrendered in Florida; they face charges including injuring or removing a tomb, disturbing the contents of a grave, and grand theft over $20,000, with extradition to Florida planned for the two suspects. Authorities urge families to check interred loved ones’ niches for missing items."
