Jose Altuve home burglary: Man charged for buying watches stolen from Astros star's home

HOUSTON - A fifth person has been arrested and charged for their part in the burglary of Houston Astros Jose Altuve's home.

Edwin Boulos, 35, is charged with Felony Theft for buying watches stolen from Astros star second baseman Altuve's home on MLB Opening Day of value of at least $30,000, but less than $150,000 according to Harris County District Attorney's Office.

Last month, four people: Patrick Maxey, 27, Jordan Tarniella, 25, Jasmyn Hall, 20, and William Jones, Jr., 28., were arrested and accused of stealing nearly $1 million worth of high-end, luxury watches from Altuve’s home.

According to officials, Boulos is accused of buying at least two of the watches at a fraction of the price.

"We believe at least two of the watches he bought, the price ranged around $30,000. It’s possible there’s more, we’re still investigating that," said Napoleon Stewart, a prosecutor with the Harris County District Attorney's Office.

In court, authorities revealed Boulos owns a diamond wholesale business. 

"Somebody in that business who can look at watches and tell if they’re authentic or not, can certainly look at a watch and tell that hey, this is an authentic watch, so why is it going for such a low price? All your antennas should be going off at that point," Stewart continued.

Investigators revealed they found text messages and phone records between Boulos and the thieves, even after the alleged burglary.

Court records show Boulos posted a $20,000 bond on Wednesday and is due back in court Thursday.  

Prosecutors did not specify what they believe Boulos intended to do with the stolen watches. 

His attorney told FOX 26 on the phone that Boulos plans on pleading not guilty in court to the charges.
