The NFL has issued an alert warning players that immigrant gangs are targeting players' homes to rob players, according to reports.
Recently, two Kansas City Chiefs star players, Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce, were victims of home invasions on the same night, just hours apart, and the NFL faces an increased threat from these robberies. I'm warning you of this.
According to officials, NFL Network The league is warning players that “transnational criminal organizations” are targeting American players' homes. NFL Network's Tom Pelissero noted that there have already been reports of intrusions among players in the NFL, NBA, and elsewhere.
Pelissero wrote that South American criminal organizations are a “reasonable” concern.
“It's legal,” the official said. “This is a transnational criminal organization that has focused on NBA and NFL players over the past three weeks and has spread across the country.”
According to the report, criminals check media reports to see when players are on the road and target potentially vacant homes.
Pelissero added:
Sources familiar with the crime said the perpetrators were non-combatant and did not enter homes while residents were inside. Instead, they use public records to find players' addresses and conduct widespread surveillance. Then, by tracking the team's schedule and the social media accounts of the players and their families, you can wait until the house is empty (often during games), focus primarily on the master bedroom, and collect cash. Access and quickly steal items such as jewelry, watches, and handbags. And the closet.
NFL security officials are urging players to lock up valuables, frequently post their location in real time and install security systems in their homes.
