Travis Kelce, Patrick Mahomes Robbery Suspects Arrested in South America Nearly 2 Years After Break-Ins

Three individuals were arrested in connection to the home robberies of professional athletes Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes.

Two suspects wanted by the FBI were arrested in Argentina last week after breaking into the home of tennis star Juan Martin del Potro, Chilean police confirmed, per a Monday, May 25, CBS News report.

“The capture of these two individuals in Argentina” led to the arrest of a third member, Commissioner Enrique Gutierrez of Chilean Interpol said in a video released by the police.

U.S. authorities are working to extradite the men to the U.S.

“These individuals will face justice in the United States or Argentina,” Gutierrez added.

Kelce’s home was burglarized in October 2024, just one day after his teammate Mahomes’ house was targeted. The team was out of town playing the New Orleans Saints during the incidents.

In addition to the Kansas City Chiefs stars, Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow’s Ohio home was targeted in December 2024 while he was playing a game in Dallas.

The FBI sent a formal warning to athletes that December to stay vigilant as their homes were likely targeted “due to the perception they may have high-end goods like designer handbags, jewelry, watches, and cash.”

“These preparation tactics enable theft groups to conduct burglaries in a short amount of time. Organized theft groups bypass alarm systems, use Wi-Fi jammers to block Wi-Fi connections and disable devices, cover security cameras and obfuscate their identities,” the report stated, according to ABC News.
