3 Chilean nationals charged in Burrow Home Burlary Case Set wear ‘JB9’ chain

Cincinnati (AP) – The men accused of a burglary at Cincinnati Bengals Quarterback Joe Burrow’s house took pictures of themselves blinking some of the prey – almost $ 300,000 worth of jewelry, watches, designer baggage and glasses. One of them had necklaces with pendants showing number 9 and “JB9”, Burrow’s Jersey number.

One of the men tried to delete the images from a cellphone when police pulled them into Ohio, but investigators were able to restore the images and included some of them in a new federal complaint filed by a FBI agent who was unsealed on Wednesday.

The study has strained several states and led to the arrests of six people. Federal authorities say it is a story that involves South American burglary time that has targeted against distinguished homes around the country, and a fence operation is running out of a peasant shop in New York.

In court documents, investigators have not publicly linked the burglary 9 December in Burrow’s home in Cincinnati to other thefts reported on other high -profile athletes’ houses, but the complaint that was released Wednesday said there were similarities in many of the burglary and burglaries and The study is ongoing.

“In recent months, several agencies throughout the United States have shared information via E email about these burglaries,” the complaint said. “These agencies have had burglary … where professional athletes were the victims. Many of these cases share similar facts.”

Thieves also have the piles of luxury articles from home to quarterback Patrick Mahomes and the tight end Travis Kelce from Kansas City Chiefs and NBA players Luka Doncic from Dallas Mavericks and Mike Conley Jr. From Minnesota.

On Wednesday, three of the four men already charged by local authorities of burglar burrow’s home were indicted by a federal grand jury in Cincinnati on charges of transporting stolen goods intermediate and forgery of items related to the same burglary. It was not immediately known whether they had retained lawyers who could respond to the claims.

Clark County Public Defenders’ Office in Ohio, who has represented the four men in the state case, did not immediately return telephone and E email messages. All four men are from Chile and are illegal in the county, officials said.

Also on Wednesday, two other men who were charged with conducting a fence surgery in New York City, selling stolen items from burglaries around the country, were not guilty through their lawyers in the federal court in Brooklyn. Investigators who are alleged that one of the men was attached via telephone registers to one of the men accused in the cave’s home theft.

These two men, Dimitriy Nezhinskiy and Juan Villar, were identified by authorities in court documents released on Tuesday. Villar’s lawyer, Lauriano Guzman Jr., refused to comment on the court on Wednesday. A message sought comment was sent to Nezhinskiy’s lawyer.

Prosecutors said a large amount of suspected stolen property was found in the two men’s peasant shop in Manhattan and on storage units in New Jersey belonging to Nezhinskiy.

Federal sub -providers said that South American burglary time, many in the country illegally or overbearing visas, have been targeting expensive homes next to green areas, hiking trails, golf courses and undeveloped soil. They have typically broken in through rear windows or glass doors on the second floor when possible, and targeted at jewelry and designer accessories while leaving other valuables, authorities said.

That’s pretty much what happened at Burrow’s home, despite a security team watching the property while Burrow and Bengals were in Dallas playing cowboys. Someone in Burrow’s house discovered that it had been screwed and a bedroom window was broken.

The homeowners’ association gave police a video of a camera on a path next to Burrow’s house showing a man walking through the woods with what seemed to be a piece of luggage.

In the criminal complaint released Wednesday, an FBI agent wrote that the authorities asked the suspects of a hotel in Fairborn, Ohio, near Dayton, using mobile phone location data and license plate readers. Investigators said they matched data from cell towers to the locations of a vehicle of interest identified by the license plate readers.

Local prosecutors said that four men were later taken into custody during a traffic stop – Jordan Francisco Quiroga Sanchez, 22; Alexander Esteban Huaquil-Chavez, 24; Bastian Alejandro Orellana Morales, 23; and Sergio Andres Ortega Cabello, 38. Sanchez, Morales and Cabello were indicted by the federal grand jury on Wednesday.

According to federal agents, Sanchez and Cabello told police that they were on vacation in Ohio to see the snow. Huaquil-Chavez said he was visiting Ohio with the others, but did not know their real names, the complaint says. Chavez recognized buying a glass -breaking tool on a Home Depot, but didn’t say why, says the document.

Authorities said they later found several photographs on men’s phones showing items stolen from Burrow’s home.
