Nov 23, 2024; Los Angeles, California, USA; Seattle Sounders FC defender Jackson Ragen (25) heads the ball against LAFC forward Olivier Giroud (9) in the first half in a 2024 MLS Cup western conference semifinal match at BMO Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Ryan Sun-Imagn Images Los Angeles FC forward Olivier Giroud had $500,000 worth of jewelry taken from his home in a burglary earlier this month, ESPN reported Tuesday night.
TMZ Sports originally reported the news on Monday afternoon.
Giroud and his family were not home when the incident occurred. Burglars entered the residence by breaking a window, and when Giroud's wife came home to find items -- such as 10 luxury watches -- missing, she called police, per the reports.
The burglary was reported to authorities on Feb. 5.
Giroud, 38, had zero goals and three assists in 10 matches (seven starts) for LAFC last season. The Frenchman was a longtime star overseas and helped his home country win the 2018 World Cup.
Break-ins at professional athletes' homes has been common as of late, as NFL stars Joe Burrow, Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce have all been victims of burglary over the past few months.
