Popular stars like Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce are among the recent victims of these nefarious gangs.
This alarming trend raises serious concerns about the penetration of transnational crime into America’s affluent neighborhoods and the ability of law enforcement to protect its citizens.
Across North America’s top sports leagues, alarm bells are ringing as organized burglary rings employ advanced techniques to target wealthy NFL and NBA players.
These crime syndicates use high-tech methods such as drones and signal-jamming devices to infiltrate homes with military precision.
The FBI and other law enforcement agencies are now fully engaged in tracking these transnational South American theft groups targeting athletes and high-net-worth individuals.
The scale of this criminal operation is shocking. Many of these burglars enter the U.S. on 90-day tourist visas and engage in thorough pre-surveillance, ensuring their targets are away.
Recent burglaries in Southern California have been linked to these “burglary tourists,” exploiting vulnerabilities and using video equipment and Wi-Fi jammers to avoid detection.
The implications of such breaches challenge the very notion of security for high-profile figures, Fox4 reports.
As cities like Chicago, Houston, and Dallas become targets, the situation worsens.
The criminal networks are non-confrontational, focusing on empty homes and prioritizing items such as cash, jewelry, and luxury goods.
The NBA and NFL have issued urgent security alerts, instructing players to bolster their defenses with activated alarm systems and heightened vigilance on social media activity.

“It’s legit, 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,” a source familiar with the matter told KCTV5.
Despite some homes having alarm systems installed, many were left unoccupied and vulnerable to these calculated strikes.
Other homeowners, unprepared for the sophistication of these invasions, found their residences pillaged of high-value items.
The FBI has now launched an official investigation, with professional sports leagues closely monitoring the situation.
“The FBI is warning professional sports leagues in the United States that “organized theft groups” from South America are behind a string of burglaries at the homes of star athletes,” says a statement by the FBI.
