The residences of Kansas City Chiefs' quarterback Patrick Mahomes and tight end Travis Kelce were burglarized within days of each other last month, according to law enforcement reports.

"Obviously it's frustrating, disappointing," Mahomes said before practice on Wednesday. The break-ins, initially reported by TMZ, occurred just before and on the day of the Chiefs' 26-13 home victory over the New Orleans Saints on October 7, as Kelce's superstar girlfriend Taylor Swift watched from the stands. No injuries were reported in either incident.

One day prior to the Monday night game, law enforcement was dispatched to a home matching Mahomes' address in a private gated resort-like community in northwestern Cass County, south of the city's metropolitan area. Mahomes stated he couldn't provide many details due to the ongoing investigation, describing it as "something you don't want to happen to anybody and obviously yourself." His name isn't listed on the sheriff's office report, which the Associated Press obtained. The single-page document shows another person called just after midnight on October 6 to report what was classified as a burglary. It didn't describe any missing items.

Ronnie Lozano, a spokesman for the sheriff's department, wrote in an email that the investigation is active and declined to answer other questions, including whether there had been any arrests. The prosecutor for the county didn't immediately respond to an email seeking comment.

Around 7:30 pm on October 7, as the Chiefs played the Saints at Arrowhead Stadium, a home matching the address of Kelce's was burglarized in the affluent suburb of Leawood, just over the state line in Kansas. The crime wasn't reported until early the next morning, according to an offense report obtained from police by the AP. Kelce's name isn't listed in the report, which stated losses included $20,000 in cash and damage to a rear door. The 16,000 sq ft home includes a wine cellar, backyard pool, and six-car garage.

"The Leawood Police Department does not comment about specific victims of crimes except in the case of fatality crashes or homicides," police captain Jason Ahring said in an email. Melody Webb, a spokeswoman for the area's Johnson County prosecutor's office, said in an email that the office had no comment.
