Four Chilean nationals arrested in connection to Joe Burrow home burglary

Four Chilean nationals arrested in connection to Joe Burrow home burglary

Four Chilean nationals have been arrested for their alleged involvement in the burglary of Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow’s Ohio home last month, according to WLWT in Cincinnati.

An investigator wrote in the court document that an “old LSU shirt” and Bengals hat were found in the suspects’ SUV, although Burrow — an LSU alum — is not specifically named, per the report.

One of the suspects also carried a cell phone that matched data from a Hamilton County cell phone tower from the Dec. 9 robbery in Anderson Township.

Sergio Cabello, Jordan Sanchez, Bastian Morales and Alexander Chavez are facing charges of participating in a criminal gang, engaging in a pattern of corrupt activity, obstructing official business and possession of criminal tools, according to WLWT.

The court document said the four arrests are part of the “ongoing investigation involving burglaries of multi-million dollar homes in multiple states.”

A special agent with the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation saw “four male Chileans” exiting a La Quinta H๏τel with luggage in Fairborn, Ohio on Jan. 10.

They offered false information and names after being pulled over, per the report, and three told detectives at the Clark County Sheriff’s Office that they visited Ohio to see snow while on vacation.

One of them men, who had been carrying a Louis Vuitton bag, had previously been identified by the special agent as a possible suspect in the robbery.

Investigators also discovered tools wrapped in towels that are used by South American theft groups to break glᴀss and enter houses, per the report.

“After the four male Chileans’ true identifications were learned all four males were identified as being illegally in the country or overstayed their permissions,” the document states, per WLWT.

WLWT reported that Burrow’s home is the only multi-million dollar home to have been burglarized in Hamilton County on said date, lending credence to the connection with Burrow’s scare.

Burglars broke into Burrow’s home during a 27-20 road win over the Cowboys on “Monday Night Football,” with WLWT reporting at the time a bedroom had been “ransacked” and one window smashed.

SI Swimsuit model Olivia Ponton was later revealed to have been in the house and called 911.

“Someone broke into my house,” Ponton told police. “It’s like completely messed up. … Can we please send more people?”

Burrow was understandably quite perturbed by the ransacking.

“So obviously everybody has heard what has happened,” Burrow said in December. “I feel like my privacy has been violated in more ways than one. And way more is already out there than I would want out there and that I care to share, so that’s all I got to say about that.” 

Before Burrow, Chiefs stars Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes each dealt with burglaries in October.

The incidents led to the NFL warning players about how professional athletes have been targeted by crime groups, with a South American crime ring alleged to be the perpetrators behind the two incidents.
