CNN —After recent burglaries at homes of professional athletes – including Kansas City Chiefs stars Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce – the NFL has issued a security bulletin to teams and the players union warning that “organized and skilled groups” are increasingly targeting players’ residences for such crimes.
The memo, issued Wednesday and obtained by CNN, warns that players across multiple sports leagues are being targeted.
Perpetrators “appear to exploit team schedules to target athletes’ homes on game days,” and appear to be using public records, social media, media reports and surveillance to gather information on their targets, it says.
That home belongs to Mahomes, the Chiefs’ quarterback, CNN affiliates KCTV and KSHB reported.
