Seattle man charged with string of burglaries targeting pro athletes

A Seattle man was charged Friday with a string of burglaries that targeted prominent current and former football and baseball players.

Earl Enderson Riley IV, 21, was charged with several counts of residential burglary in both occupied and unoccupied homes, along with first-degree robbery, according to the King County Prosecuting Attorney's Office.

Prosecutors allege Riley was the ringleader in a series of burglaries that began in February and involved stealing more than $6,000 in Louis Vuitton bags from Seattle Mariners pitcher Luis Castillo's home. He also allegedly stole more than $194,000 in high-end purses and jewelry from the home of the Mariners' center fielder, Julio Rodriguez.
