TMZ: LAPD Contacted Kershaw, Puig and More Dodgers About Home Security
The Los Angeles Police Department has reportedly contacted multiple Los Angeles Dodgers players in an effort to help them protect their homes from burglary during the World Series.
According to TMZ Sports, the LAPD specifically reached out to starting pitcher Clayton Kershaw, outfielder Yasiel Puig and third baseman Justin Turner.
Puig's home was burglarized last year during Game 7 of the World Series, and police reportedly believe he was targeted because the suspects knew he wouldn't be home at the time.

Several athletes and celebrities in the L.A. area have also had their homes hit in recent months, including Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Robert Woods. Puig's home has been burglarized four times.
Per TMZ Sports, the LAPD believes the crimes are linked, and although arrests have been made, police are concerned that members of the burglary ring or copycat burglars may strike during the World Series.
The police reportedly checked in with Dodgers players to make sure their home security systems are in working order. They also plan to have added police surveillance in the area while World Series games are being played.
Game 1 of the World Series will take place Tuesday night with the Boston Red Sox hosting the Dodgers at Fenway Park.
