智利警方周日表示,他们逮捕了三名智利籍嫌疑人,这些人被美国联邦调查局(FBI)通缉,涉嫌在2024年和2025年抢劫美国职业运动员的住宅。
当局称,这些嫌疑人还在阿根廷实施过针对运动员的抢劫。
警方表示,窃贼偷走了珠宝、高档腕表以及运动球衣等纪念品和其他随身物品。
其中两名嫌疑人上周在闯入前网球运动员胡安·马丁·德尔波特罗的住宅后被捕,德尔波特罗是最后一位赢得大满贯赛事的拉丁美洲选手——2009年美国网球公开赛冠军。
智利国际刑警组织专员恩里克·古铁雷斯在警方发布的一段视频中表示,“在阿根廷抓获的这两名嫌疑人”导致该团伙第三名成员于周六被捕。
他补充说,美国当局早已申请“带有引渡意向的逮捕令”。
2024年12月,FBI本月早些时候向体育联盟发布了一份通知,告知各球队和球员近期发生了针对职业运动员的入室盗窃案。据消息人士向哥伦比亚广播公司新闻透露,该预警称,2024年9月至11月期间,全美至少有9名职业运动员在住宅遭强行闯入后成为目标。
智利警方未透露任何据称遭遇抢劫的美国运动员的姓名。
哥伦比亚广播公司新闻此前曾报道过NBA球星卢卡·东契奇、辛辛那提猛虎队四分卫乔·伯罗、堪萨斯城酋长队球星帕特里克·马霍姆斯和特拉维斯·凯尔西、明尼苏达森林狼队后卫小迈克·康利、密尔沃基雄鹿队前锋鲍比·波蒂斯以及国家冰球联盟达拉斯星队球员泰勒·塞古因的住宅遭闯入的案件。
2025年2月,美国方面指控7名智利国民与这些入室盗窃案有关。据美国司法部透露,这些嫌疑人偷走了价值超过200万美元的贵重物品,包括珠宝、现金和其他奢侈品。
据智利警方称,这些嫌疑人会勘查每栋住宅的安保情况,并查看潜在受害者的社交媒体主页。
古铁雷斯补充道:“这些人将在美国或阿根廷接受审判,因为他们在智利没有重大犯罪记录,专门在我国境外实施抢劫。”
Suspects wanted by FBI for robbing pro athletes’ homes arrested in Chile

Police in Chile on Sunday said they arrested three Chileans wanted by the FBI for allegedly robbing the homes of professional American athletes in 2024 and 2025.
The suspects also robbed athletes in Argentina, authorities said.
The thieves stole jewelry, high-end watches and souvenirs such as sports jerseys, among other belongings, they said.
Two of them were arrested last week after breaking into the home of former tennis player Juan Martin del Potro, the last Latin American to win a Grand Slam tournament — the 2009 U.S. Open.
“The capture of these two individuals in Argentina” led to the arrest on Saturday of a third member of the gang, Commissioner Enrique Gutierrez of Chilean Interpol said in a video released by the police.
U.S. authorities had already requested “arrest warrants with a view to extradition,” he added.
In December 2024, the FBI issued a notice to sports leagues earlier this month informing teams and players of recent burglaries targeting professional athletes. The advisory said at least nine professional athletes were targeted in the rash of forced entries at their homes across the country between September and November 2024, sources told CBS News.
Police in Chile did not reveal the names of any of the American athletes who were allegedly robbed.
CBS News previously reported on break-ins at the homes of NBA star Luca Doncic, Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow, Kansas City Chiefs stars Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce, Minnesota Timberwolves guard Mike Conley Jr., Milwaukee Bucks forward Bobby Portis, and Tyler Seguin of the NHL’s Dallas Stars.
In February 2025, the U.S. charged seven Chilean nationals in connection with the burglaries. The suspects stole valuables worth over $2 million, including jewelry, cash, and other luxury merchandise, according to the Justice Department.
According to police in Chile, the suspects checked the security levels of each house and reviewed the social media profiles of their potential victims.
“These individuals will face justice in the United States or Argentina, as they had no significant criminal record in Chile, having specialized in robberies outside our borders,” Gutierrez added.
