Police have reportedly found Travis Kelce’s watch stolen during a home burglary

Police have reportedly found Travis Kelce’s watch after his home was burglarized last month.

Sources said ABC News on Friday, Nov. 22, that authorities were able to recover possession of the Kansas City Chiefs tight end, 35, after his home in Leawood, Kan., was burglarized on Oct. 7.

The watch was found in Providence, RI, by authorities investigating a recent string of home burglaries that have affected high-profile athletes, according to the outlet.

The Leawood Police Department told PEOPLE they are not commenting on the investigation.

The home invasion of Kelce’s property came less than 48 hours after his teammate Patrick Mahomes’ home in Belton, Mo., was also burglarized on Sunday, Oct. 6.

According to a police report obtained by PEOPLE earlier this month, officers from the Cass County Sheriff’s Office were dispatched to Mahomes’ home at 12:08 a.m. on a burglary/burglary.

Police said there were no signs of forced entry into the home, according to the police report.

On 7 October at At 7:33 p.m., Kelce’s home was also broken into, according to a police report obtained by PEOPLE. At the time of the break-in, the Chiefs were playing the New Orleans Saints at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Mo.

Leawood police were called to the house the following morning at 1:36 a.m. where they reported $20,000 was taken and a back door was broken.

Milwaukee Bucks forward Bobby Portis’ home in River Hills, Wis., was also burglarized earlier this month, police said ABC News.

Portis, 29, made the announcement in a video that was posted on Instagram and X (formerly known as Twitter) on Nov. 3 that he was playing against the Cleveland Cavaliers when most of his “valuable possessions” were stolen during a home invasion while he was at work the previous night.

According to ABC News and Fox 4 Kansas Citycould the recent home burglaries of high-profile athletes be linked to a South American crime ring.

“Multiple law enforcement sources familiar with the investigations” told ABC News on Wednesday, Nov. 20, that the burglaries may have been part of an international scheme.

The sources added that this was only “one avenue” that investigators were looking into.

“You don’t want to discount a local person,” said one insider, before adding that “it’s very easy to find out” where the players were on Sunday.

According to NFL insider Tom PelisseroThe NFL has issued a warning to team security directors and the players’ union following the thefts.

A source close to the situation told Pelissero that the crime ring is “legit” and has been “focused on” NBA and NFL players “over the past three weeks.”

“And it’s all over the country,” the source added.
