The F.B.I. is currently investigating a series of burglaries involving professional athletes' homes in the Midwest, possibly linked to transnational organized crime groups, specifically South American Theft Groups.
Authorities indicated that these sophisticated burglary rings utilize advanced techniques such as pre-surveillance, drones, and signal jamming devices, posing significant challenges to local law enforcement.
The pattern of these burglaries suggests they often take place when the homes are unoccupied, with alarm systems frequently left deactivated, allowing criminals to exploit these vulnerabilities.
In a concerning trend, burglaries have targeted several N.B.A. and N.F.L. athletes, raising alarms about their safety and the implications of organized crime encroaching on personal spaces.
