KANSAS CITY, Mo. (KCTV) - Chilean police arrested three suspects Sunday who are wanted by the FBI for allegedly robbing the homes of professional American athletes, including Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and tight end Travis Kelce, according to CBS News.
The suspects also robbed athletes in Argentina, authorities said.
Two of the suspects were arrested last week after breaking into the home of former tennis player Juan Martin del Potro, CBS News reported.
“The capture of these two individuals in Argentina” led to the arrest Saturday of a third member of the gang, Commissioner Enrique Gutierrez of Chilean Interpol said in a video released by police, according to CBS News.

U.S. authorities had already requested “arrest warrants with a view to extradition,” he said.

The thieves stole jewelry, high-end watches, souvenirs and other sports gear, authorities said.
Mahomes’ Loch Lloyd home was burglarized on Oct. 5, 2024, and Kelce’s Lenexa home was burglarized on Oct. 7, as the Chiefs played the New Orleans Saints in a Monday Night Football game.
Los Angeles Lakers star Luka Doncic, Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow, Minnesota Timberwolves guard Mike Conley Jr., Milwaukee Bucks forward Bobby Portis, and Tyler Seguin of the NHL’s Dallas Stars all had homes burglarized.
In February 2025, the U.S. charged seven Chilean nationals in connection with the burglaries, accusing them of stealing valuables worth over $2 million, including jewelry, cash, and more, according to the Justice Department.

Chilean police said the suspects checked the security levels of each house and reviewed the social media profiles of their potential victims, CBS News reported.
“These individuals will face justice in the United States or Argentina, as they had no significant criminal record in Chile, having specialized in robberies outside our borders,” Gutierrez said, according to CBS News.
