The four men suspected of raiding Joe Burrow’s mansion allegedly posed for a photo in the Cincinnati Bengals quarterback’s jewelry after carrying out the burglary.
Bastian Morales, 23, Jordan Sanchez, 22, and Sergio Cabello, 38 have been federally charged over the break-in that took place at Burrow’s $7.5million property in Cincinnati on December 9.
The fourth suspect, Alexander Chavez, 24, has not been charged federally but remains charged in Clark County, Nevada.
The group, who cops believe are illegal immigrants from Chile, were arrested during a traffic stop in Clark County last month; with Morales, Sanchez and Cabello now facing charges of transporting stolen goods interstate and falsifying records in a federal investigation.
In a shocking new photo laid bare in court documents, all four men linked to the burglary can be seen posing in the jewelry they allegedly stole from Burrow – including the NFL star’s personalized diamond-encrusted chains.
They are understood to have made off with over $300,000 worth of his luxury possessions, according to federal prosecutors.

Another photo also shows several jewelry items belonging to Burrow, including his ‘JB9’ and ‘#9’ chain necklaces, laid out alongside a wad of cash.
The Bengals hero is one of many victims in a nationwide string of heists targeting sports stars, including Kansas City Chiefs duo Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes.
However, it is unclear if the three suspects federally charged for the burglary of his property are also linked to the nationwide rash of pro-athlete thefts.
Authorities believed the break-in at Burrow’s home took place between 6pm and 8pm local time on December 9.
‘During a security detail shift change at the home at approximately 6 pm, security personnel walked the perimeter of the house and no windows appeared to be broken at that time,’ investigators said.
Law enforcement responded to the NFL player’s home around 8:14pm on December 9, 2024, in reference to a reported burglary, charging documents read.
An ‘associate’ of Burrow, believed to be his rumored new flame Olivia Ponton, had been dropped off at the residence shortly after 8pm and discovered rooms were unusually messy and a primary bedroom window on the back side of the home had been broken.
Authorities investigated the property, leading them to discover a trail camera image of a man carrying luggage and walking through the wooded area behind the home.

Law enforcement tracked the subjects in various states following the burglary, and subsequently located the vehicle at the La Quinta hotel on University Boulevard in Fairborn.
The Ohio State Highway Patrol later stopped the vehicle for a traffic violation. They were reportedly were found with LSU and Bengals gear which is suspected to have been taken from Burrow.
Phone analysis reportedly showed that Cabello allegedly deleted photographs of the stolen goods and the back of the victim’s home during the traffic stop, thus falsifying records in a federal investigation.
Additional cell phone analysis revealed other photos of the defendants in southeast Florida days after the burglary with luxury luggage and wearing the stolen jewelry.
The group was also in possession of Husky automatic center punch tools, which are said to be used regularly by the ‘South American Theft Group’ to ‘break glass and enter into houses.’
On Tuesday, an FBI raid at a pawn shop in Manhattan’s Diamond District led to the arrest of two men believed to be linked to the burglary.

Dimitriy Nezhinskiy, 43, and Juan Villar, 48, were charged with conspiracy to receive stolen property as part of an alleged fencing operation tied to an organized South American theft group.
Burrow previously said he felt ‘violated’ by the break-in, which was cloaked in mystery after it emerged that the 911 call was made by Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model Ponton, rather than his longtime partner Olivia Holzmacher.
Ponton – who boasts eight million followers on TikTok – is said to have told officers that she noticed ‘a shattered bedroom window and the room ransacked’ when she arrived at the property.
When she arrived at Burrow’s house and discovered that someone had broken in, the TikTok star reportedly phoned her mother, Diane, who then called police.
Ponton could later be heard saying in a separate call: ‘Someone broke into my house… It’s like completely messed up.’
