Olivier Giroud Falls Victim to $500,000 Burglary in Los Angeles

⚽ A Shocking Incident in LA ⚽

Los Angeles FC (LAFC) striker Olivier Giroud has become the latest high-profile athlete targeted by burglars in the U.S. Reports confirm that thieves broke into his West LA home on February 5, 2025, looting valuables worth a staggering $500,000.

According to the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD), burglars smashed a window to enter the residence. Fortunately, Giroud and his family were not at home during the incident. The break-in was discovered when his wife returned and found multiple luxury items missing—including 10 high-end watches! 🏡💎

Giroud joins a growing list of sports stars who have suffered similar fates in recent months. Notable victims include NFL quarterbacks Joe Burrow and Patrick Mahomes, as well as Kansas City Chiefs' Travis Kelce. These burglaries are not isolated incidents, as authorities have noticed an alarming trend where criminals specifically target affluent athletes.

📢 Just this week, federal prosecutors charged seven suspects, allegedly part of a gang that broke into the homes of Mahomes and Kelce. Shockingly, the criminal group, which included three Chilean nationals, even took photos after burglarizing NBA star Bobby Portis’ home. 📸💰
