Seven Men Charged Over $2M Burglary Spree Targeting US Athletes
Posted : 20 February 2025
Seven Chilean nationals have been charged in connection with a series of burglaries that targeted professional athletes across the US, stealing over $2 million in valuables from NBA and NFL players.
Among the victims were Kansas City Chiefs stars Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes, whose homes were broken into while they were competing in games last October.
A federal complaint alleges the group is part of a South American theft ring that tracks players' schedules through public records and social media, with some members already pleading not guilty to initial charges.
