Santiago, Chile - Police in Chile on Sunday said they arrested three Chileans wanted by the FBI for allegedly robbing the homes of professional American football and hockey players 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 Martín del Potro, the last Latin American to win a Grand Slam tournament – the 2009 US 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.

US authorities had already requested "arrest warrants with a view to extradition," he added.

Police did not reveal the names of any of the American athletes who were allegedly robbed.

According to police, 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.
