A suspected member of a theft group that stole about $100,000 in valuables and belongings from a Brookline home was arrested in Miami last week, according to the Brookline Police Department.

Known as the “South American Theft Group,” police say the group is a highly organized group of thieves who target high-end properties, Brookline Police Sgt. Robert Disario said in a video posted to Facebook.

U.S. Marshall’s Service arrested Sergio Ignacio Cardiz in Florida last week in connection with a theft in Brookline in March 2024, Disario said.

He said the theft group has been active in Brookline and other communities across the state and country.

Cardiz is one of four suspects that Brookline police identified in connection with the $100,000 heist. Police issued arrest warrants for all four.
