New York Jets center Nick Mangold’s day job is protecting his quarterback, but he also helped out his neighbors by calling 911 when he saw crooks breaking into his car — ending a summer burglary spree.

The beefy Pro Bowler made the call at 5:30 a.m. on Aug. 23, helping to end a spree of 48 burglaries into unlocked cars in Chatham Township and Chatham Borough in New Jersey, WABC/Channel 7 reported.

Mangold called 911 after hearing his own car alarm sound and finding his garage door open. Cops arrived and took five alleged burglars into custody.
