The homes of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and tight end Travis Kelce were burglarized within days of each other last month, according to law enforcement reports.
“It’s obviously frustrating and disappointing,” Mahomes said before practice on Wednesday.
The burglaries, first reported by TMZ, happened just before and the day of the Chiefs’ home win over the New Orleans Saints on Oct. 7, as Kelce’s superstar girlfriend Taylor Swift watched from the stands. No injuries were reported in either case.
One day before the game on Monday night, law enforcement was called to a home matching Mahomes’ address in a private, gated resort-style community in northwest Cass County, just south of the city’s metropolitan area.
Mahomes said he couldn’t provide many details because the investigation is ongoing. He described it as “something you don’t want to happen to anyone, including yourself of course.”
His name is not listed on the sheriff’s office report, which the Associated Press obtained. The one-page document shows that another person called just after midnight on October 6 to report a burglary. No missing items were described.
Ronnie Lozano, a spokesman for the sheriff’s department, wrote in an email that the investigation is active and declined to answer other questions, including whether any arrests had been made. The county attorney’s office did not immediately respond to an email seeking comment.
On October 7, around 7:30 p.m., when the Chiefs were playing the Saints at Arrowhead Stadium, a home matching Kelce’s address in the affluent suburb of Leawood, just across the state line in Kansas, was burglarized. The crime was not reported until early the next morning, according to a crime report obtained from police by the AP.
Kelce’s name is not mentioned in the report, which said the losses included $20,000 in cash and damage to a back door. The 16,000-square-foot home features a wine cellar, a backyard pool and a six-car garage.
“The Leawood Police Department does not comment on specific crime victims, except in the case of fatal accidents or homicides,” Police Chief Jason Ahring said in an email.
Melody Webb, a spokeswoman for the area Johnson County Prosecutor’s Office, said in an email that the office had no comment.
