BOSTON – Tom Brady's stolen Super Bowl jerseys are back with the New England Patriots.
The jerseys worn by Brady during this year's Super Bowl and the 2015 Super Bowl were returned to Gillette Stadium Thursday, the FBI announced.
Brady's 2017 jersey disappeared from the Patriots' locker room after the team's win over the Atlanta Falcons on Feb. 5, touching off an investigation stretching from Boston to the Mexican border.
Mexican authorities searched the property of tabloid journalist Martin Mauricio Ortega, where they found the jersey, along with a Brady jersey that disappeared after the 2015 Super Bowl. A Denver Broncos helmet also was found.
Ortega has not been charged in the case and has not commented.
In a statement Thursday, Patriots owner Robert Kraft said he looks forward to giving the jerseys to Brady when he returns to New England.
Kraft thanked the FBI, Mexican authorities and other law enforcement agencies involved in the investigation.
"It is another example of the importance of teamwork and what can be accomplished when everyone works together," Kraft said.
