NFL issues a security alert after Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce homes were broken into
KANSAS CITY, Kan. — The NFL issued a security alert to teams and the players' union on Thursday following recent burglaries involving the homes of Chiefs stars Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce.
In a memo obtained by The Associated Press, the league says homes of professional athletes across multiple sports have become "increasingly targeted for burglaries by organized and skilled groups."
Law enforcement officials noted these groups target the homes on days the athletes have games. Players were told to take precautions and implement home security measures to reduce the risk of being targeted.
Some of the burglary groups have conducted extensive surveillance on targets, including attempted home deliveries and posing as grounds maintenance or joggers in the neighborhood.

Will be interesting to see if they catch those involved and who they might be or be connected to. Also, I think it would be very hard to “fence” stolen items from these heists. Apparently, the powers that be have kept this info in the dark for over a month since the reported attempts on Oct 7 at the homes of Mahomes and Kelce. Hopefully, they have some good investigative leads.
