Two men, Dimitriy Nezhinskiy and Juan Villar, have been indicted in federal court in New York City for their involvement in buying stolen watches, jewelry, and other expensive items from burglary crews and re-selling them at their pawn shop in Manhattan since 2020. Nezhinskiy has been linked to a theft at the residence of a high-profile athlete in Ohio, which occurred on the same day that Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow's home was broken into.
Although the court documents do not mention Burrow as a victim, prosecutors have cited evidence, including phone records, connecting Nezhinskiy to suspects involved in a theft near Cincinnati on December 9, coinciding with the burglary at Burrow's home while he was away playing in Dallas.
