In an incident that shocked the football world, the home of French star Olivier Giroud in Los Angeles was subjected to a major robbery at the beginning of February, as the thieves took advantage of the absence of the player and his family to carry out a well-planned heist.
According to reports from the Los Angeles police, they responded to a call on February 5 indicating a broken window on the upper floor of a luxurious home in the west of the city, only to later discover that the target was the former French national team star and Los Angeles FC striker.
A source revealed to "ESPN" that Giroud lost approximately half a million dollars worth of jewelry and luxury watches, as the thieves managed to seize 10 valuable watches among the stolen items, leaving behind a heist reminiscent of movies!
Giroud is considered one of the prominent French strikers in modern times, having played for top clubs such as Arsenal, Chelsea, and Milan, winning numerous titles, most notably the UEFA Champions League with Chelsea in 2021, in addition to his World Cup victory with France in 2018.
As the police continue their investigations to uncover the circumstances of the robbery and track down the perpetrators; the question arises:
Did the thieves know that Giroud's house would be empty?
