Burglary at Olivier Giroud's Home in Los Angeles: $500,000 in Jewelry and 10 Luxury Watches Stolen
2 months ago | 5 Views
Olivier Giroud, the former striker for Arsenal and Chelsea, encountered an unfortunate incident at his residence in Los Angeles earlier this month. The French international relocated to LA following his significant transfer to Los Angeles FC. At the age of 38, he became the victim of a burglary, during which approximately $500,000 worth of jewelry was reportedly taken from his home.
As reported by ESPN, Giroud and his family were not present at their residence when the intruders gained entry by breaking a window, subsequently stealing jewelry and various items, including ten luxury watches.
On February 5, Giroud's wife alerted authorities to the break-in after noticing the damaged window at their property.
The Los Angeles Police Department informed TMZ that the investigation is ongoing, although no arrests have yet been made.
According to the Associated Press, LAFC spokesperson Seth Burton refrained from commenting on behalf of Giroud and the organization, other than to confirm the occurrence of the burglary.
Notable figures in American sports, such as Joe Burrow, quarterback for the Cincinnati Bengals, Ty Jerome, guard for the Cleveland Cavaliers, and Antonio Hamilton, cornerback for the Atlanta Falcons, have also experienced similar burglaries recently, with some incidents coinciding with their participation in nationally televised games.
Giroud, who previously played for Arsenal, Chelsea, and AC Milan, and was part of the French team that won the 2018 World Cup, joined LAFC last year.
Last season proved to be disappointing for Giroud at LAFC, as he recorded no goals and three assists across 10 appearances, including seven starts. Nevertheless, LAFC successfully secured the US Open Cup title, despite Giroud not performing at his peak.
Giroud is widely recognized for his impressive six-year tenure at Arsenal from 2012 to 2018, followed by three years each at Chelsea and AC Milan. Throughout his club career, he has amassed a total of 285 goals in 716 matches and has garnered numerous accolades, including a Champions League victory with Chelsea three years ago.
As the all-time leading goal scorer in French football, he aims to dominate the goal-scoring charts in Major League Soccer next season.
