The Federal Bureau of Investigation announced Friday that it has launched a nationwide operation to investigate a burglary ring targeting the homes of professional athletes across the United States.

According to the FBI, the criminal enterprise is believed to be organized by South American Theft Groups (SATGs) who are taking advantage of the public nature of athletes’ schedules to find opportune times for break-ins.
