Dimitriy Nezhinskiy And Juan Villar Arrested In Connection With Home Burglaries Of Joe Burrow And Other Players

The FBI has made some arrests in connection with the home burglaries of Joe Burrow and other players including Luka Doncic and Patrick Mahomes. Dimitriy Nezhinskiy and Juan Villar are the names you need to know. These guys thought they could get away with stealing from some of the biggest names in the sports world, but the FBI wasn’t going to let that happen.

It’s not every day that you hear about something like this. These burglaries were high profile and had everyone wondering who could have pulled off such audacious crimes. Well, now we know their names and they are in some serious trouble.

An FBI raid in the Diamond District of Manhattan lead to the arrest of two men who operate a pawn shop where stolen goods were allegedly fenced.

Dimitriy Nezhinskiy, 43, and Juan Villar, 48, have been charged with conspiracy to receive stolen property as part of an alleged fencing operation tied to an organized South American theft group.

They are accused of buying luxury items linked to the cross-country burglaries before selling them on from the Manhattan pawn shop.

Nezhinskiy was arrested Tuesday in New Jersey and Villar in Manhattan. Both suspects are due to appear in court in Downtown Brooklyn on Wednesday.

‘As alleged, the defendants created an illicit market and fueled demand for burglaries by South American Theft Groups and other crews around the country by purchasing stolen watches, jewelry and other luxury items, and then re-selling them in their New York City store,’ said United States Attorney John Durham.

Phone records and video surveillance linked Nezhinskiy to at least two members of a four-man burglary crew believed to be involved in the burglary of Burrow, according to the indictment.

During Tuesday’s search of the property in Manhattan, authorities reportedly seized suspected stolen property, including high-end, luxury watches and jewelry, as well as large quantities of cash and marijuana.

Kansas City Chiefs stars Kelce and Mahomes also had their Missouri homes burglarized in October.

Luka Doncic had $30,000 worth of jewelry stolen prior to his recent trade from the Dallas Mavericks to the Los Angeles Lakers, and other NBA players like the Milwaukee Bucks ‘ Bobby Portis and Minnesota Timberwolves’ Mike Conley have also seen their homes ransacked.

However, it is unclear if the two arrests Tuesday were also linked to those particular robberies.

Let this be a lesson to anyone who thinks they can get away with these kinds of crimes. The FBI is watching, and they will grab you. It’s just a matter of time!
