LAFC striker Olivier Giroud lost approximately $500,000 worth of jewelry when his Los Angeles home was burglarized earlier this month, a source told ESPN.
The LAFC forward and his family were not at the property when burglars broke in by smashing a window and stole jewelry and other items — including 10 luxury watches — belonging to the 2018 World Cup winner.
The source added that Giroud’s wife, Jennifer, reported the incident to police on Feb. 5, after returning home and finding the items missing.
The 38-year-old former Chelsea and Arsenal star is in the final stages of preparation with LAFC for the upcoming MLS season, with his team kicking off against Minnesota United at home Saturday.
On Tuesday night, the team begins its Concacaf Champions Cup campaign on the road against the Colorado Rapids.
Giroud has not scored in 14 games for LAFC since his move from AC Milan to MLS.
He is the latest high-profile athlete to be the victim of such an incident after the likes of NFL stars Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce and Joe Burrow had their homes burglarized in recent months.
The Los Angeles Police Department is investigating.
