A source close to Ware told CBS4 the crime happened at approximately 5:30 p.m. on Monday night while the Broncos were playing the Houston Texans in Denver. Men entered Ware's Cherry Creek apartment and stole a safe and Ware's customized Super Bowl 50 championship ring.

Police said Wednesday afternoon in a tweet that the stolen items were recovered.

A hidden camera in the apartment had captured images of the suspects, who police said entered the home through the front door "by unknown means." The pictures showed a mustached man in a collared shirt and another man in a red shirt. Both were wearing gloves.
