Seven men from Chile have been charged in Florida federal court with orchestrating burglaries at the homes of prominent professional athletes around the country, according to a criminal complaint.
The FBI complaint doesn’t name the athletes, but lists burglaries already made public involving the Chiefs’ Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce, Joe Burrow of the Bengals, as well as players for the Buccaneers and the NBA’s Bucks and Grizzlies.
According to the complaint, the defendants are part of a burglary ring that “is known to target high-profile professional athletes when they are known to be away from home.”
The men allegedly stole about $2 million in watches, jewelry, cash and other valuables, including a safe they later cracked.
Each defendant is charged with conspiracy to commit interstate transportation of stolen property, which carries a maximum 10-year prison sentence. It wasn’t clear Wednesday whether they’re in custody.
The defendants are listed as Pablo Zuniga Cartes, 24; Ignacio Zuniga Cartes, 20; Bastian Jimenez Freraut, 27; Jordan Quiroga Sanchez, 22; Bastian Orellano Morales, 23; Alexander Huiaguil Chavez, 24; and Sergio Ortega Cabello, 38.
