BROOKLINE, MASS. (WHDH) - A homeless man is facing charges after police say he broke into a Brookline mansion owned by former New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady and supermodel Gisele Bündchen on Monday.
Zanini Cineus, 34, formerly of Brockton, was arraigned in Brookline District Court on charges including breaking and entering in the nighttime with intent to commit a felony, attempted larceny, and trespassing, according to the Brookline Police Department.
Officers responding to a call for multiple activated alarms at 112 Woodland Road found Cineus laying on a couch in the basement of the vacant home, police said.
A private security was able to watch Cineus walk into the house shortly before 6 a.m. and they notified police.
“Responding units were given the access code and they were able to gain access to the property,” Brookline Police Lt. Jennifer Paster told reporters. “They immediately went to the basement and located the suspect, who was laying on the couch in the middle of the room.”
Cineus is also said to have had several active warrants out of Wrentham District Court stemming from incidents that occurred in Foxborough late last year.
In one of the incidents, Cineus was arrested for allegedly stealing a Brady jersey and game-worn pants from the Patriots Hall of Fame at Patriot Place, according to court documents.
Brady and Bündchen are currently living in Florida now that the star quarterback plays for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Their Brookline mansion is reportedly for sale in an off-market listing.
No additional information was immediately available.
An investigation remains ongoing.
