Four Chileans were detained for their alleged involvement in the burglary of Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow's home.

In connection with a series of burglaries, including the home of Cincinnati Bengals star quarterback Joe Burrow, four Chilean men have been apprehended.

According to WLWT-TV, citing court documents, the four suspects were arrested after an ongoing investigation into burglaries of multimillion-dollar homes in multiple states.

On January 10, the Ohio State Highway Patrol stopped Sergio Cabello, Bastian Morales, Jordan Sanchez, and Alexander Chavez in Clark County, resulting in their arrest, according to the documents.

The arrest report stated that all four males were identified as being in the country illegally or overstaying their permissions, as all the men presented fake IDs.

The court documents revealed that authorities discovered an old LSU shirt and Bengals hat, believed to be stolen from the December 9, 2024 burglary in Hamilton County, Ohio, where Burrow resides.

Authorities discovered "two Husky automatic center punch tools wrapped in a cloth towel" during the search of the vehicle used by the South American Theft Group.

The four suspects have been accused of engaging in corrupt behavior, being part of a criminal organization, possessing illegal tools, and obstructing law enforcement.

On Dec. 9, while Burrow was in Dallas for "Monday Night Football," his home was burglarized. The police were notified by Olivia Ponton, a model and social media influencer who was identified as Burrow's employee in the incident report.

Diane Ponton and her daughter called 911 while the latter was at the home being broken into.

"Diane Ponton, on a recorded 911 call, stated that someone is attempting to enter the house and her daughter is present. The house belongs to Joe Burrow, who is currently at a football game. The daughter is unsure whether to hide or leave the house."

A few days after the break-in, Burrow discussed it during a media availability and emphasized the challenges of maintaining privacy when his personal information is publicly accessible.

Burrow began by stating, "It's clear that everyone has heard about what happened. I feel like my privacy has been violated in multiple ways. More information is already out there than I want to share, so that's all I have to say about it."

"My least favorite aspect of living a public life is the lack of privacy. Despite this challenge, I have learned to cope with it throughout my career. However, it remains difficult to deal with. I recognize that it is the life we have chosen."

The NFL issued a memo this year advising players to remain vigilant following home break-ins, which affected Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce of the Kansas City Chiefs.

According to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero, the FBI was probing the crime wave, "which is suspected to be linked to a South American criminal organization."

The league advised players to take precautions, such as installing home security systems, and to avoid posting images of expensive items or live updates of their activities on social media.
