Man who sold coins stolen from Gronk’s house gets probation

DEDHAM, Mass. (AP) — A man who pawned rare coins stolen from Rob Gronkowski’s home while the now-retired New England Patriots tight end was away to play in the Super Bowl has been placed on two years of probation.

A spokesman for the Norfolk district attorney tells The Sun Chronicle that Eric Tyrrell, of Foxborough, was sentenced last week after pleading guilty to receiving stolen property.

Tyrrell was also ordered to stay away from Gronkowski’s home and from the victim, who was Gronkowski’s housemate.

Tyrell was not charged with participating in the Feb. 4, 2018 break-in.
