South American Theft Ring Indicted for Burglary at NFL Star Joe Burrow's Home

Federal charges link suspects to a series of upscale burglaries targeting professional athletes, with stolen goods valued at millions.

Three Chilean nationals were federally indicted for burglarizing the home of Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow in December, stealing over $300,000 in luxury items.
The suspects are alleged members of a South American theft group that has targeted upscale homes across the United States, including those of other star athletes like Patrick Mahomes and Luka Doncic.
Federal investigators recovered photos of the suspects posing with stolen items, including jewelry and designer luggage, some tied directly to Burrow’s home.
Two men in New York were charged with running a fencing operation to sell stolen goods, with authorities uncovering $1.5 million worth of suspected stolen property in a pawn shop and storage units.
Authorities say the burglary crew often entered homes through rear windows or glass doors, focusing on high-value items, and are investigating connections to similar thefts nationwide.
