A New York pawn shop owner is facing serious legal repercussions after admitting to his involvement in a theft ring that targeted professional athletes, including Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow. This crime spree saw luxury items worth nearly $300,000 stolen from Burrow's home while he was away playing a game. The scheme also implicated notable NFL stars like Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce, along with NBA players Luka Doncic and Mike Conley.

The shop owner, Dimitriy Nezhinskiy, has pleaded guilty to conspiracy for knowingly dealing in stolen goods, which included high-end watches and jewelry. His potential sentence could be up to five years in prison and substantial financial penalties. This case highlights a troubling trend of burglars targeting athletes while they are engaged in public events.
