Back in October, Kansas City Chiefs star tight end Travis Kelce had his home targeted in a burglary, and it sounds like the FBI is giving him a bit of a warning after its investigation.
According to a report from NBC News, the FBI has warned players about a string of burglaries that have most likely been carried out by South American organized theft groups.
NBC reports that these groups conduct surveillance, review security measures, and target pro athletes believed to have high-value belongings and cash.
As a result, these players – including Kelce – were warned about displaying valuables on social media.
“The bureau recently issued the best-practices memo as part of a long-standing practice of communicating with private businesses about crime trends, a U.S. official briefed on the matter said,” NBC News reported last week.
“The memo, a ‘liaison information report,’ urges the leagues to advise athletes to limit imagery of valuables, such as cash, jewels and electronics, on their public accounts, the official said.”
Of course, this is not exactly going to be easy for Kelce.
Kelce is currently dating Taylor Swift, who is one of the most famous individuals on the planet. And she has quite a fondness for luxury items.
Since he began dating the pop sensation, Kelce has been seen wearing more designer clothing and jewelry than he has in the past, and it’s nearly impossible for him to hide it as he and Swift have been photographed together in public on numerous occasions.
Still, it’s likely Kelce beefed up his security a bit after the burglaries.
