Two more professional athletes had their homes broken into by burglars: Bobby Portis of the Milwaukee Bucks and Mike Conley Jr. of the Minnesota Timberwolves. Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes of the Kansas City Chiefs were also burglary victims in October.
“I consider Milwaukee my home. Unfortunately last night while I was at work, my home was broken into and burglarized,” Bobby Portis wrote on Instagram alongside a video discussing the burglary of his home. “Many of my prized possessions were stolen.
“I’ve worked hard to do good in the Milwaukee community and I hope you all can help do the same by sending any tips regarding this crime to: info@bobbyportis.com. Any information that directly leads to catching the criminals involved or return of my property will be rewarded.”
Surveillance video shows the two men Portis says broke into his home on Nov. 2 while he and the Bucks were playing the Cleveland Cavaliers. Travis Kelce’s home was broken into by burglars while the Chiefs were playing the New Orleans Saints on Oct. 7. The burglary at Patrick Mahomes’ house was reported to police on Oct. 6.
“We are looking into all avenues, local and national, and are exploring what similarities there may be,” police in Portis’ home of River Hills stated.
Now, it has been revealed that Minnesota Timberwolves guard Mike Conley Jr. also had his home burglarized while he was at a Minnesota Vikings game in September.
On Sunday, the FBI, which is already looking into the Kelce and Mahomes burglaries, was reported to be assisting in the home invasion case at Portis’ home. River Hills police also said they had been in contact with law enforcement authorities in Missouri and Kansas due to the “striking similarities” of the four cases.
“Well, the connection could be that you have three professional athletes, two football, one basketball, or is this just a matter of it’s pretty easy to look up when a basketball game is being played and to figure lives, because they’re also very active on social media,” former FBI agent Brad Garrett told ABC 7 News in Chicago.
