Travis Kelce has invested a significant portion of his wealth into enhancing the security at his Kansas City mansion. This decision follows a robbery that occurred months ago, where intruders made off with several personal items while Taylor Swift was in Missouri.
The break-in took place in October 2024, concurrently with another attempted theft at the home of his teammate Patrick Mahomes. This incident was linked to a broader transnational crime network targeting NFL players. Kelce is understandably unsettled and is taking steps to ensure that such an event does not recur.
Additionally, he has acquired two guard dogs—a German Shepherd and an Anatolian Shepherd—for $9,000, and hired two security guards, costing $6,000 per month, for family protection.
“Travis recognized the need to address this issue promptly,” a source shared with The US Sun. “It was a deeply unsettling experience for him.
“He resolved to take comprehensive measures, investing in alarms, protection staff, and dogs to secure his environment.
“His priority is safety. He views his home as a haven and refuses to experience such a violation again.”

Burglars Apprehended Following Break-In
Earlier this month, four individuals from Chile were arrested related to a burglary at the mansion of Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow in Ohio, initially suspected of involvement in the attacks on Kelce and Mahomes.
Documents reveal the suspects were detained on January 10 during a routine traffic stop when authorities uncovered evidence tying them to the crime. The group allegedly broke into Burrow’s residence on December 9 while he attended a game.
Authorities recovered stolen goods, including an LSU jersey and a Bengals hat, from their possession. This arrest signifies progress in addressing the rising issue of burglaries aimed at professional athletes.
In light of these events, the NFL has sent out warnings to teams and players about the increasing targeting of athlete’s homes by organized crime factions. Experts have noted these criminals can disarm security systems and execute break-ins in under 15 minutes.
Athletes are urged to be vigilant about social media sharing of valuable possessions and to invest in enhanced security systems including cameras and motion-sensor lighting. Even players from the NBA have fallen victim.
