Four Chilean nationals were arrested in apparent connection to a string of burglaries targeting multimillion-dollar homes.
“An ongoing investigation by the Southwest Ohio Burglary Task Force has led to the arrests and indictments of four Chilean men, who are accused of carrying out a string of burglaries targeting multimillion-dollar homes,” a press release from Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost’s office stated.
“A Clark County grand jury on Tuesday indicted Jordan Francisco Sanchez, 22; Alexander Esteban Huaiquil-Chavez, 24; Bastian Alejandro Morales, 23; and Sergio Andres Cabello, 38,” it continued.
According to reports, the four men have been linked to a December burglary that coincides with a break-in at the home of Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow.

Officials charged the suspects with the following:
- Engaging in a pattern of corrupt activity (F1)
- Participating in a criminal gang (F2)
- Possessing criminal tools (F5)
“The men were arrested on Jan. 10 and booked into the Clark County Jail, where they remain in custody,” Yost’s office stated.

Per NBC News:
Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost announced that a grand jury returned an indictment against the four in court Tuesday. It includes charges of corrupt activity, participation in a criminal gang and possessing burglary tools, according to a statement. He credited the Southwest Ohio Burglary Task Force, which his office launched last year to investigate the break-ins.
A spokesperson for Yost said the indictment was returned at a preliminary hearing at which the defendants did not enter pleas. Ohio criminal procedure does not require pleas to be entered for felony cases at such hearings.
The original criminal complaint includes those charges, as well as obstructing investigators, according to the local case filed in Springfield municipal court on Jan. 13. Authorities alleged in the filing that three of the four presented fake identification to police.

ABC News reports:
When the agent pulled the car over, Alexander Chavez, Bastian Morales, Jordan Sanchez and Sergio Cabello allegedly showed the agent fake identification. The car smelled of marijuana and it was later confirmed that the four men were in the country illegally, court records filed in Clark County, Ohio, say.
When police searched the car, they say they found “two Husky automatic center punch pools wrapped in a cloth towel behind the glove box.”
Police say these tools are used by South American theft groups to break glass and enter houses.
The affidavit says that in the vehicle police found an “old LSU shirt and Bengals hat believed to be stolen from the December 9, 2024 burglary in Hamilton County, Ohio.”
Burrow’s home in Hamilton County was burglarized on Dec. 9, according to police records.
The affidavit says the men were brought to the Clark County Sheriff’s Office for further questioning. When a detective called one of the cell phone numbers that was placed at the scene of the burglary via cellphone data, Morales’ phone started ringing, according to court records.
