Police confirmed four armed men wearing balaclavas robbed Jan Vertonghen’s house in London while he was on the second leg of Champions League Round of 16 against RB Leipzig.
The men broke into the house while Vertonghen’s wife and children were still inside the house.
“Police were called to a residential address in NW3 at 7.49pm on 10 March to a report of a burglary,” Spokesman of Met Police told.
“Officers attended. It was reported four men wearing balaclavas, armed with knives, had forced entry to the property and stolen a number of items before leaving.
“Nobody was injured. The suspects had left the scene before officers arrived. There have been no arrests and inquiries continue.”
Vertonghen is the latest footballer to be hit by robberies after Crystal Palace defender, Mamadou Sakho lost valuables worth more than £500,000 from his home in London.
Arsenal footballers Mesut Ozil and Sead Kolasinac were attacked by carjackers in July 2019, while Liverpool forward Sadio Mane had his house burgled while he was playing in a Champions League last-16 tie against Bayern Munich in February 2019.
