NFL issues major warning to players after Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce home break-ins tied to ‘transnational crime ring’
NY Post
The NFL has warned its players to take precautions against a “transnational crime ring” that is suspected of orchestrating a number of break-ins of athletes’ homes including Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce.
NFL Media’s Tom Pelissero reported Thursday that the league sent a memo to team security and players union officials warning them about measures they can take in an attempt to stave off the home invasions.
The report also said that the FBI believes that the rash of home break-ins has been the result of “international organized crime.”
“It’s legit,” a source told Pelissero. “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.”
Bucks veteran Bobby Portis and Timberwolves guard Mike Conley Jr. have also had their homes robbed in recent weeks.
Vikings defensive tackle Linval Joseph was also a victim of a home robbery.
