Seven men have been charged with conspiracy to commit interstate transportation of stolen property in connection with a nationwide spree of burglaries targeting high-profile athletes, including Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes. The men are part of a South American burglary crew from Chile and have been connected to burglaries at the homes of various athletes across the country, stealing over $2 million worth of goods. The burglaries targeted athletes who were away or playing in professional games at the time. In one instance, $1.5 million worth of goods was stolen from the home of a Milwaukee Bucks player, with the suspects posing with the stolen items afterward. Other victims included a Cincinnati Bengals player and a Memphis Grizzlies player, among others. Authorities have been warning high-profile athletes about a wave of burglaries targeting their homes, believed to be carried out by South American criminal crews entering the U.S. through the Visa Waiver program. The case highlights the vulnerability of wealthy individuals, including athletes and celebrities, to these organized criminal activities. The investigation is ongoing, with recent reports indicating the burglary of the home of Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban on Valentine’s Day.
