The incident is one of the many thefts and burglaries involving Chelsea and its players since 2021, with four players targeted so far.
Captain Reece James' house was burgled, and his UEFA Champions League, UEFA Super Cup and Euro 2020 runners-up medals were stolen and have yet to be found.

According to TNT Sports, Raheem Sterling’s house was burgled a few months into his Chelsea career while he was away at the Qatar 2022 FIFA World Cup.
The burglars made away with valuables worth about £300,000, forcing the winger to return home to England to comfort his family before returning to Qatar.
An Albanian national, Emiliano Krosi, was jailed for 11 years for his part in the incident and 32 other burglaries across the South East.
