The surge in burglaries highlights the audacity of these groups and raises concerns about safety and security in affluent neighborhoods.
A burglary spree orchestrated by South American crime rings has victimized several athletes, revealing a disturbing trend.
The NFL stars’ homes have become high-value targets due to their presumed wealth, drawing attention from transnational theft groups.
These well-coordinated assailants employ advanced methodologies, including pre-surveillance, drones, and signal-jamming devices.
North America’s top professional sports leagues have instructed their athletes to peek over their shoulders and fortify their defenses.
The NBA has linked these crimes to “transnational South American Theft Groups” targeting athletes and affluent individuals.
Meanwhile, the NFL encouraged stars to implement stringent security measures.
The thieves aim to strike when they’re least expected.
Social media becomes a double-edged sword as athletes’ posts are monitored for clues about their absence from home. Law enforcement agencies, including the FBI, are on high alert, working tirelessly to dismantle these intimidating networks.
“The FBI is warning professional sports leagues in the United States that ‘organized theft groups’ from South America are behind a string of burglaries at the homes of star athletes,” the FBI said in a statement.
The crime spree is geographically vast, spreading to cities such as Chicago, Houston, and Dallas, indicating a deliberate and systematic approach.
Despite security advisories from the NBA and NFL to activate alarms and avoid oversharing online, the burglaries continue, exploiting unoccupied homes with inactive alarm systems.
With Southern California law enforcement applying pressure, burglars are pushing their operations into new territories.
There is a stark reminder for all to remain vigilant, guarding against the unsettling intrusion of organized international crime.
“It’s legit, it’s a trans-national crime ring, and over the last three weeks, they’ve focused on NBA and NFL players, and it’s all over the country,” said a source familiar with the situation, cited by KCTV5.
While these groups masterfully avoid confrontations by targeting deserted homes, the threat persists.
The NFL and NBA have issued security alerts to players after transnational South American gangs reportedly targeted athletes’ homes, using schedules and social media to plan burglaries during games, with the FBI linking the crimes to organized theft rings. https://t.co/HCENz0QAVU
