There’s a new burglary ring, and that’s it aimed at NFL players.
The homes of Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce and Joe Burrow have recently been burglarized, but it will be difficult for anyone to get in Tua Tagovailoas place.
The Miami Dolphins quarterback said Wednesday that he has “personal security” to protect him and his family.

Tagovailoa said he made the decision shortly after one of his cars was broken into.
“It’s a little too close for my comfort now that my family is in the house. So we have personal security to take care of all that. When we’re on the road, we have someone with my wife. We have someone inspecting that house,” he said.
He then issued a stern warning.
“They’re armed, so I hope if you decide to go to my house, you’ll think twice about it.”

JOE BURROW’S HOUSE BREAKDOWN WHILE PLAYING COWBOYS ON MONDAY NIGHT: REPORT
Burrow’s house was broken into while facing the Cowboys in Dallas on Monday. The NFL recently sent a memo about the incidents.
The league warned players to be on high alert after homes believed to be linked to international organized crime were hit last month.
NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reported this last month the FBI investigates the crime spree, “believed to be linked to a South American crime syndicate.”
At least one other NFL player had his home broken into, according to the report.
In the memo, the league also urged players to take precautions, including installing home security systems. They were also encouraged not to post images of expensive items or live updates of their comings and goings on social media.
