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.
