Four Chilean nationals were arrested and charged with interstate transport of stolen goods and falsification of records after allegedly burglarizing Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow's home in December 2024. The investigation revealed a connection to a New York City pawn shop owner accused of acting as a middleman for stolen luxury items.
Federal authorities have unsealed a criminal complaint outlining the December 2024 burglary of Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow 's residence. The complaint details how authorities tracked down four Chilean nationals suspected of the crime, ultimately connecting them to a network of stolen luxury goods and a New York City pawn shop owner accused of acting as a middleman. The investigation began when authorities received a tip about a suspicious vehicle linked to the burglary.
They tracked the vehicle to a hotel in Fairborn, Ohio, where they surveilled it before pulling it over for a traffic violation. Inside the vehicle, authorities found two Husky automatic center punch tools, believed to be used for breaking glass and entering houses, an old LSU shirt, and a Bengals hat, all suspected of being stolen from Burrow's home. The four Chilean nationals initially presented fake identification but were later identified as Alexander Chavez, Bastian Morales, Jordan Sanchez, and Sergio Cabello. They were arrested and charged with interstate transport of stolen goods and falsification of records in a federal investigation.The complaint further reveals how the FBI utilized surveillance images, cellphone tracking, and other technology to uncover the suspects' involvement in the burglary. It also describes how authorities connected the suspects to a pawn shop owner in New York City, Dimitriy Nezhinskiy, who is accused of acting as a middleman for stolen luxury items. Phone records and video surveillance linked Nezhinskiy to at least two members of Burrow's burglary crew. Nezhinskiy and his co-defendant, Juan Villar, are accused of purchasing stolen luxury items from burglary crews based out of South America and then reselling them at the Manhattan pawn shop. Prosecutors claim Nezhinskiy and Villar may have been in possession of $5 million in stolen luxury goods. Nezhinskiy and Villar were initially granted bail, but a federal judge revoked it on Friday, citing their alleged involvement in a 'Super Bowl of criminal activity'. The judge set a trial date of August 4, though federal prosecutors and defense attorneys are reportedly attempting to arrange possible guilty pleas
