ATHENS, Ga. -- One person has been arrested in connection with the theft of former UGA star Roquan Smith's National Championship and Rose Bowl jerseys and helmet.

Smith's car was robbed between Friday night and Saturday morning, and a UGA helmet and jerseys from the Rose Bowl and national championship were among several items stolen. Police believe Durham broke into Smith's car parked outside of his residence in The Marks Apartment complex in Athens.

Among the items stolen were an iPad, headphones, speaker, watch, sunglasses, shoes, a 2017 UGA football helmet, 2017 UGA football jersey, 2018 Rose Bowl jersey and 2018 national championship jersey.

Durham is also suspected of entering into the unlocked car belonging to a UGA lacrosse player, Austin Eiseman, in which several items were also taken, including Eiseman's lacrosse jersey. That incident happened the same morning and at the same location in Athens as the Smith theft.

Some of Smith's items have been reportedly recovered.
