Joe Burrow of the Cincinnati Bengals, Bobby Portis of the Milwaukee Bucks, and an unnamed Tampa Bay Buccaneers player were other victims of the burglary crew.
Seven defendants were named in the complaint: Jordan Sanchez, Bastian Morales, Bastian Freraut, Pablo Cartes, Ignacio Cartes, Alexander Chavez, and Sergio Cabello. They could be imprisoned for up to ten years on a conspiracy charge of interstate transportation of stolen property.
When officers stopped some of the individuals during a traffic stop, they discovered LSU merchandise in the trunk, which they suspect belonged to former LSU player Burrow.
A picture of three of the seven guys was released by the Department of Justice, and they are accused of being members of a thieving gang from South America.
