According to the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office, Beck’s gold Mercedes-AMG GmbH and Lamborghini and Cavinder’s Land Rover vanished from Beck’s home in southwest Miami-Dade.

Detectives later found the Mercedes-AMG and the Land Rover stolen along Southwest 86th Street nearby.

Beck, a quarterback, received $3 million to transfer to the University of Miami from the University of Georgia.

Cavinder and her twin sister Haley play basketball for UM and showed their over 4 million TikTok followers when they bought matching Land Rovers.

The car thefts come after federal prosecutors in Florida charged seven Chilean men, including undocumented migrants, for the burglaries of six professional athletes between October and December.

The FBI and prosecutors identified the suspects as Pablo Zuniga Cartes, Ignacio Zuniga Cartes, Bastian Jimenez Freraut, Jordan Quiroga Sanchez, Bastian Orellano Morales, Alexander Huiaguil Chavez, and Sergio Ortego Cabello.

The burglary victims include NFL stars Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce, of the Kansas City Chiefs; quarterback Joe Burrow, of the Cincinnati Bengals, and players from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

It’s unclear if the car thefts are related to the Chilean crime tourism that the FBI has been investigating.

Detectives asked anyone with information about this or other cases to call Miami-Dade County Crime Stoppers at 305-471-8477.
