The homes of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and tight end Travis Kelce were both burglarized in early October, according to police reports. Mahomes’ home in Belton, Missouri, was broken into around midnight on October 6. Authorities from the Cass County Sheriff’s Office responded to the incident after a man reported a break-in. While the report did not mention Mahomes by name, the address corresponded with his residence in public records. Details on whether any items were stolen or if Mahomes or his family were home at the time remain unclear, as the investigation is ongoing.
When questioned about the incident in a press conference, Mahomes expressed his frustration. “It’s frustrating, disappointing,” he stated. “I can’t get into too many of the details because the investigation is still ongoing. Obviously something you don’t want happening to really anybody, but obviously yourself.” Mahomes further remarked, “I’m sure at some point that will be talked about,” implying that more information may be shared once the investigation concludes.
Just two days after the Mahomes burglary, a similar incident occurred at Kelce’s residence in Leawood, Kansas. The police report indicates that a suspect broke in around 7:30 p.m. on October 8, causing an estimated $1,000 in damage to a back door before stealing $20,000 in cash. The break-in reportedly took place while the Chiefs were hosting the New Orleans Saints on Monday Night Football, a game Kelce’s girlfriend, Taylor Swift, attended. The burglary at Kelce’s home was reported the following day, but Kelce has not commented publicly on the incident.
The respective incidents happened shortly before the Chiefs began their bye week, making it a particularly difficult time for the two athletes. Both cases remain under investigation, with police actively working to uncover further details. Authorities have not yet released any information on whether any items were taken in the Mahomes break-in, but the situation is ongoing.
