Last month, the homes of Kansas City Chiefs’ quarterback Patrick Mahomes and tight end Travis Kelce were broken into just days apart, according to law enforcement reports.
“Obviously it’s frustrating, disappointing,” Mahomes said before practice on Wednesday.
The break-ins, first reported by TMZ, took place just before and on the day of the Chiefs’ 26-13 win over the New Orleans Saints on October 7, when Kelce’s famous girlfriend, Taylor Swift, was watching the game from the stands. There were no injuries in either incident.
The day before the Monday night game, police were called to a house matching Mahomes’ address, located in a private, gated community in northwestern Cass County, just south of Kansas City.
Mahomes said he couldn’t share many details because the investigation is still ongoing. He described the situation as “something you don’t want to happen to anybody and obviously yourself.”
Mahomes’ name is not listed in the sheriff’s report, which was obtained by The Associated Press. The report shows that someone called just after midnight on October 6 to report a burglary at the location. It did not mention any stolen items.
Ronnie Lozano, a spokesperson for the sheriff’s department, said in an email that the investigation is still active but declined to answer other questions, such as whether any arrests had been made. The county prosecutor’s office did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
On the evening of October 7, around 7:30 p.m., while the Chiefs were playing the Saints at Arrowhead Stadium, a home matching Kelce’s address in the upscale suburb of Leawood, Kansas, was broken into.
The crime wasn’t reported until the following morning, according to an offense report obtained by the AP.
Kelce’s name is also not mentioned in this report, but it indicates that $20,000 in cash was stolen, and a rear door was damaged. Kelce’s home is a large 16,000-square-foot property that includes a wine cellar, a backyard pool, and a six-car garage.
“The Leawood Police Department does not comment about specific victims of crimes, except in the case of fatality crashes or homicides,” said Captain Jason Ahring in an email.
Melody Webb, a spokesperson for the Johnson County prosecutor’s office, also declined to comment on the case in an email.
