(TheIndependentStar.com) – Adding a new entry to the growing list of issues plaguing liberal Los Angeles, another wealthy athlete has fallen victim to rampant crime in the city.
French soccer star Olivier Giroud’s luxurious West Los Angeles home was ransacked, with burglars running off with a staggering $500,000 worth of jewelry.
This brazen theft highlights the growing crime wave sweeping across liberal cities, leaving even the rich and famous vulnerable.
Giroud’s wife discovered their sanctuary had been violated when she found a smashed upstairs bedroom window.
The intruders had helped themselves to over 10 men’s luxury watches, part of a half-million-dollar haul.
This incident is just the latest in a string of high-profile burglaries targeting professional athletes across the nation.
The Los Angeles Police Department is investigating the crime, but no arrests have been made.
This lack of progress raises questions about the effectiveness of law enforcement in Democrat-run cities, where criminals seem to operate freely.
Giroud, a 38-year-old French soccer player, joined Los Angeles Football Club in August 2024.
With 11 major trophies and nearly 300 goals in his 18-year career, he is considered “one of the greatest goal-scorers of his generation.”
But even his star status could not protect him from becoming another statistic in LA’s crime epidemic.
Alarmingly, Giroud is not alone in his misfortune. Other high-profile athletes like NFL stars Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, and Joe Burrow, NBA sensation Luka Dončić, and NHL players Tyler Seguin and Evgeni Malkin have all fallen prey to similar burglaries.
This pattern of targeting successful athletes raises concerns about the safety of American sports figures and their families.
The FBI has linked these sophisticated burglaries to organized theft groups from South America, known for their ability to bypass security systems.
This revelation raises serious questions about the nation’s border security and the clear dangers unchecked illegal immigration poses.
While the FBI and NFL advise athletes to beef up their home security, Americans question whether authorities should do more to protect its citizens.
Instead of focusing on securing borders and cracking down on organized crime, liberal politicians seem more concerned with pushing their woke agendas and coddling criminals.
As Giroud prepares for his second season with LAFC, this incident serves as a stark reminder of the growing lawlessness in several cities.
