The NFL issued a warning to the player’s union, as well as team security personnel after break-ins at Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes‘ homes.
The home burglaries are said to be part of a larger international crime ring, with criminals targeting professional athletes. Apparently, those taking part in this are from an South American crime ring.

A source told NFL.com, “It’s legit. It’s a transnational crime ring, and over the last three weeks, they’ve focused on NBA and NFL players, and it’s all over the country.”
The crimes are said to be committed when the players are not at home. Apparently, they are using public record information to find addresses, and by tracking player schedules, target the homes when they know the players will not be there. They focus on master bedrooms, closets, and other areas where higher priced items might be found.
Dallas Cowboys’ defensive tackle Linval Joseph was also apparently recently targeted.
