“It’s Definitely Them” Chiefs’ Suddenly Informed Of Actual Cartel Threat (Report)

The Kansas City Chiefs are having one of the most memorable regular seasons in franchise history both on and off the field.  Through their first 10 games, they sit 9-1 and still in first place in the AFC Conference.  They have also been at the center of off the field stories surrounding Taylor Swift, Travis Kelce, players getting in legal trouble, and now the Mexican Cartel?

According to Matt Ehalt of The New York Post:

Police believe a South American crime ring is behind the October burglaries that happened at the residences of Chiefs stars Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce, according to Fox 4 in Kansas City.

A police report said Kelce had roughly $20,000 in cash stolen and his back door received damage, according to TMZ.

“It doesn’t surprise me at all that this crime spree that is going across the entire country is designed by some very sophisticated people in somewhat of a cartel,” security expert Mike Barbieri told Fox 4.

Cops received notice of a burglary at Mahomes’ Belton, Mo., residence around midnight on Oct. 6, and the burglars entered Kelce’s Leawood, Kan., home around 7:33 p.m. the next day, per TMZ.

The Chiefs had a home “Monday Night Football” game against the Saints on Oct. 7.

Because the robberies could be part of a larger operation, the FBI has assisted the Leawood and Cass County Sheriff’s Offices.

In a statement, Mahomes described the situation as “frustrating.”

“It’s disappointing,” Mahomes said last week. “Obviously something that you don’t want to have happen to really anybody, but obviously yourself.”
