WESTON, Fla. — Newly released drone video shows the moments Indiana police officers say they captured a man who was wanted in a massive jewelry heist in Weston.
The video shows the man running along a road, seemingly evading police before officers in Zionsville take him down and cuff him.
Jose Elias Barrozo-Espinosa, 38, also known as Fabian Eliseo Llancavil Nahuel, was arrested late last month.
According to Broward Sheriff’s Office deputies, the Chilean national left blood behind at the Weston scene on Nov. 8, proving crucial to identifying him.
According to an arrest warrant, at the Weston home, “unknown suspects” shattered a master bedroom window and got in, stealing a safe containing roughly $500,000 in gold and jewelry.
DNA evidence taken from blood left on a shade near the shattered window and on the floor came back to Barrozo-Espinosa.
An Indianapolis news outlet reports that Barrozo-Espinosa also has a warrant out of Texas and that the case is linked to “similar cases of South American gangs targeting suburban homes.”
Several other Chilean nationals have been accused of burglarizing homes nationwide, including those belonging to professional athletes.
The BSO arrest warrant doesn’t identify the homeowner, whose address was redacted.
As of Thursday, Barrozo-Espinosa remained in jail on an immigration hold.
