Earlier last month, the homes of Kansas City Chiefs’ stars Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes were broken into and valuables were stolen. The news regarding the same emerged 10 days earlier and the police have been investigating the burglaries.
The police have now recovered a watch that belongs to Travis Kelce in Providence, Rhode Island, nearly 1,400 miles away from his residence in Leawood, Kansas, as per TMZ. The tight end’s home was burglarized less than 48 hours after Mahomes’ house in Belton, Missouri was broken into.
The burglary took place on October 7 at 7:33 p.m. while Kelce and the Chiefs were playing against the New Orleans Saints at Arrowhead Stadium. The police arrived at 1:36 a.m. at the site where they reported that $20,000 was stolen and the back door was damaged.
Disturbing pattern emerging where the homes of athletes are being broken into
Kelce and Mahomes are just one of the few athletes who have been burglarized. The NFL has warned team security directors and the NFLPA of “organized and skilled groups” that have been targeting the homes of professional athletes for burglaries. It is simple for them to figure out the schedules of the players as they target their residences on game days.
Milwaukee Bucks forward Bobby Portis’s home in River Hills, Wisconsin was burglarized while he was playing against the Cleveland Cavaliers. As per ABC News, a South American cartel is behind the string of burglaries.

The FBI is investigating the incidents as international organized crime. As per the source, “Multiple law enforcement sources familiar with the investigations” are considering the possibility that the break-ins are part of an international scheme.
The Leawood Police Department has not commented on the status of the investigation just yet. In the interim, the players of major sports leagues have been advised to stay vigilant as the ring has been targeting athletes from the NFL and the NBA.
