French striker Olivier Giroud, who currently plays for Los Angeles FC in the MLS, fell victim to a burglary at his home earlier this month. According to TMZ, over $500,000 worth of jewellery was stolen from his property.
Giroud’s wife reported the break-in on February 5 after finding a shattered window at their home. Among the stolen items were more than 10 men’s watches and other valuable pieces, significantly contributing to the estimated total loss.
The Los Angeles Police Department is actively investigating the incident, although no arrests have been made at this time.
Giroud, a former player for Arsenal, Chelsea, and AC Milan, recently joined LAFC and played a crucial role in helping the team secure the US Open Cup title last year. The 38-year-old Frenchman, who is also the all-time top scorer for the French national team, has yet to comment on the burglary.
Unfortunately, Giroud is not the only sports figure to be targeted by burglars, with prominent names like NFL quarterback Joe Burrow and NBA guard Ty Jerome also falling victim to similar incidents.
