Olivier Giroud has reportedly had around $500,000 worth of jewellery stolen in a burglary at his Los Angeles home in February.
The former Arsenal and Chelsea striker completed a move to MLS side Los Angeles FC in July following a three-year stint at AC Milan.
Giroud has made 19 appearances for LAFC and is set to play a key role in their upcoming 2025 season.
However, TMZ have reported that the Frenchman’s home in LA was burgled earlier this month.
Around $500,000 [£397,000] in jewellery is said to have been stolen during the break-in that was reported to police on February 5.
Giroud’s wife, Jennifer, made the call after she discovered a smashed window and noticed that several expensive items had gone missing.
This includes over ten men’s watches, with Jennifer telling the police that the value of the stolen goods is around half a million dollars.
No one has been arrested in connection with the burglary yet but the Los Angeles Police Department are still investigating.
Giroud arrived in the United States last year off the back of a hugely successful career in European football.
After spells at French clubs Grenoble, Tours and Montpellier, the 38-year-old moved to the Premier League in 2012 by signing for Arsenal.
The forward scored 105 goals in 253 outings and won three FA Cups alongside three Community Shields with the Gunners.
Giroud then signed for London rivals Chelsea in January 2018 and won another FA Cup just months later.
He lifted the Europa League in the following season, scoring the Blues’ opener in their 4-1 final win over his former club Arsenal.
The World Cup winner’s final season at Chelsea ended with the club’s second ever Champions League triumph.
Giroud netted 39 times in 119 outings for the Blues before leaving in the summer of 2021 for Milan.
He won the Serie A title in his first season at the club and scored 49 goals in total ahead of his free transfer to LAFC.
Giroud netted the second of his two goals for the club so far in their 3-1 U.S. Open Cup final win against Sporting Kansas City.
LAFC kick-off the new season later on Wednesday in their CONCACAF Champions Cup round one first leg against Colorado Rapids.
