NFL Issues Security Alert Following Burglaries Targeting Players' Homes

Authorities believe recent burglaries at Patrick Mahomes' and Travis Kelce's homes may be linked to a South American crime syndicate targeting professional athletes nationwide.

Kansas City Chiefs stars Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce had their homes burglarized on consecutive days in early October, with Kelce losing $20,000 in cash.
The FBI and local law enforcement are investigating the incidents as part of a potential transnational crime ring, which has also targeted NBA players like Bobby Portis and Mike Conley Jr.
The NFL has issued a memo warning players about organized groups exploiting game schedules and social media activity to target empty residences during games.
The burglars reportedly conduct extensive surveillance, using tactics like posing as delivery personnel or joggers, and focus on secluded homes and master bedrooms for valuables.
Players have been advised to enhance home security measures, avoid real-time social media posts, and keep high-value items out of sight.
