4 Indicted In Break-ins At Luxury Homes, But Link To Athlete Burglaries Unclear

Four men from Chile were indicted Tuesday in what the Ohio attorney general called a string of burglaries at multimillion-dollar homes, but he declined to say whether professional athletes were the targets.

The four were arrested earlier this month in Ohio after being found in an SUV along with an LSU shirt and a Cincinnati Bengals hat. Both were believed to be stolen from a house near Cincinnati on Dec. 9, according to an affidavit.

The burglary in December came on the same day Cincinnati quarterback Joe Burrow's home was broken into while he and the Bengals were playing in Dallas. Court documents don't directly say whether the four men were linked to that break-in or list the address of Burrow, who played in college at LSU.

Text messages to Burrow's agent on Tuesday were not returned. Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost's office said no additional information would be announced, citing an ongoing investigation.

The documents also don't state whether the men are connected to a string of burglaries at the homes of prominent NFL, NHL and NBA players. The FBI in December issued a warning to leagues about organized crime groups targeting pro athletes, saying that organized theft groups from South America were using social media and other information to track the athletes.
