NFL Stars Increase Security After Surge in Athlete Home Burglaries
Matthew Stafford takes precautions as organized crime rings target professional athletes' homes across the U.S.
- Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford invited police and NFL security to inspect his home for vulnerabilities and implement additional safety measures.
- The inspections follow a series of burglaries at the homes of high-profile athletes, including Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, Joe Burrow, and Luka Doncic.
- Authorities believe South American organized crime groups are using advanced tactics like drones, Wi-Fi jammers, and social media surveillance to plan their break-ins.
- The NFL has issued a memo to all 32 teams warning about the increasing frequency of these crimes and providing safety recommendations for players.
- Despite the heightened security efforts, suspects often evade capture by exploiting legal loopholes and quickly fleeing the country with stolen goods.
