Over the past few years, multiple athletes have dealt with home invasions. Just a few of these athletes include Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, Joe Burrow, Justin Jefferson, Luka Doncic, Karl-Anthony Towns, and Julio Rodriguez.

In Burrow’s case, in particular, three men were indicted after stealing nearly $300,000 in jewelry and luxury items, including luxury luggage. The men indicted, Jordan Francisco Quiroga Sanchez, Bastian Alejandro Orellana Morales, and Sergio Andres Ortega Cabello, were believed to have been members of a South American theft group.
