Mahomes and Kelce’s homes were broken into last month

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The homes of Kansas City Chiefs tight end Patrick Mahomes and tight end Travis Kelce were broken into within days of each other last month, law enforcement reports show.

“Obviously it’s frustrating, disappointing,” Mahomes said before Wednesday’s practice.

The burglaries, which were first reported by TMZ, occurred just before and on the day of the Chiefs’ 26-13 home victory over the New Orleans Saints on Oct. 7, while Kelce’s superstar girlfriend Taylor Swift he watched from the stands. No injuries were reported in any case.

A day before Monday night’s game, law enforcement was called to a home matching Mahomes’ address in a private, resort-like community in northwest Cass County, just south of the metropolitan area of the city.

Mahomes said he could not provide many details because the investigation is ongoing. He described it as “something you don’t want to happen to anyone, and obviously to you.”

He was not named in the sheriff’s office report, which The Associated Press obtained. The one-page document shows another person called just after midnight on Oct. 6 to report what was classified as a burglary. It did not describe any missing items.

Ronnie Lozano, a spokesman for the sheriff’s department, wrote in an email that the investigation is active and declined to answer further questions, including whether there have been any arrests. The county attorney did not immediately respond to an email seeking comment.

Around 7:30 p.m. on Oct. 7, while the Chiefs were playing the Saints at Arrowhead Stadium, a home matching Kelce’s address was broken into in the affluent suburb of Leawood, just across the state line from Kansas. The crime wasn’t reported until early the next morning, according to a police crime report obtained by the AP.

Kelce was not named in the report, which said the losses included $20,000 in cash and damage to a back door. The 16,000-square-foot (1,440-square-meter) home includes 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 Capt. Jason Ahring said in an email.

Melody Webb, a spokeswoman for the Johnson County District Attorney’s office in the area, said in an email that the office had no comment.
