Summary
Three Chilean men were arrested in Argentina after U.S. prosecutors tied them to a South American theft ring accused of burglarizing homes of professional athletes.
Federal authorities said the group used publicly available schedules and location data to identify when targets were away or playing games, then broke into their homes.
Prosecutors linked the ring to break-ins involving Kansas City Chiefs stars Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce, Milwaukee Bucks player Bobby Portis and other athletes.
Two of the suspects were also arrested over a burglary at tennis great Juan Martín del Potro's home in Argentina, underscoring the group's cross-border reach.
The case aligns with FBI warnings that international theft crews increasingly mine social media, property records and online listings to map routines and pick empty homes.
