Travis Kelce Lookalike Wanted by New Hampshire Police Amid Purse Theft

A man who resembles Travis Kelce has Salem, New Hampshire, buzzing.

The Salem New Hampshire Police Department is searching for a suspect whose photos suggest he’s a dead ringer for the Kansas City Chiefs tight end. Officers shared three images of the unidentified man in a Wednesday, June 24, Facebook post as part of the department’s recurring “Wanted Wednesday” series, alleging he stole a purse from inside a vehicle, then used the victim’s credit cards.

“Today we have a suspect that apparently doesn’t know he can’t take others things,” the department wrote, adding, “Purses. Money. Bucket hats.” Officers then addressed the suspect directly: “GUESS WHAT PAL, you may look like Travis Kelce, TE for the Kansas City Chiefs and, possibly his more well known claim to fame, current fiancé of Taylor Swift, but your good looks and cool sty (kids call it “sty” I think.) can’t get you outta this one!”

While Salem police hunt for their look-alike, the real Kelce, 36, has a far more glamorous event ahead. As In Touch exclusively revealed, Kelce and Swift, 36, are set to marry at Madison Square Garden in New York City.

The Salem NH police even entertained the idea that Kelce might somehow be the culprit, joking, “Are we sure this isn’t Travis, actually? Anyone know where he’s been? Have times been tough? I mean I know the Chiefs missed the playoffs….” They quickly reconsidered, writing, “Na, it can’t be. He’s a Swifty. He wouldn’t do this.”

The post asked anyone with information to contact Officer Prince at 603-893-1911 or jprince@salemnh.gov, signing off with, “Thank you. Go Pats.”

The comments section of the department’s social media post filled up fast, with Facebook users riffing on the timing given Kelce and Swift’s upcoming wedding.

One commenter wrote, “It could be Travis. They do have a wedding coming up… can you imagine how much it costs to rent out Madison Square Garden?!” A second added, “I’m am living for this new age of police reporting but also it’s very easy to not steal things,” while another speculated the suspect could be a local “Travis equivalent” to a Swift impersonator spotted nearby.

While police continue searching for the suspect, the department’s humorous take on the case has already scored a viral touchdown with football and Swiftie fans alike.
