Seven men have been charged in connection with a nationwide spree of burglaries that targeted high-profile athletes, including Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes. The men are charged with conspiracy to commit interstate transportation of stolen property, and could face up to 10 years in federal prison if convicted. The burglaries resulted in the theft of $2 million in goods, with victims including athletes from teams such as the Kansas City Chiefs, Milwaukee Bucks, Cincinnati Bengals, and Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The burglaries were part of a larger trend of coast-to-coast burglaries targeting wealthy individuals carried out by South American criminal crews. The defendants are all from Chile, and authorities have warned about criminals exploiting the U.S. Visa Waiver program to enter the country for criminal purposes. The burglaries targeted athletes when they were away or playing in professional games, and law enforcement officials have been investigating and prosecuting similar cases nationwide. In a recent incident, the Los Angeles home of Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban was burglarized on Valentine’s Day, although no connection to the spree of burglaries has been established.
