Burglars targeted Newcastle's star striker Alexander Isak, raiding his home in Darras Hall, Northumberland.
The Sweden international's residence fell victim to the robbers just two days before his crucial performance in Newcastle's 1-0 victory over Fulham.
Northumbria Police responded to a report of burglary on Thursday morning, with the offense believed to have occurred earlier that day.
The perpetrators gained entry to Isak's property, making off with a vehicle before abandoning it in the Dissington area, fleeing the scene.
Fortunately, it remains unclear whether Isak or his family were present during the burglary, sparing them potential harm.
This incident echoes a similar occurrence involving Isak's teammate Joelinton, whose Darras Hall home was burgled three months prior.
Though Joelinton was away at the time, he received a security alert on his phone as the burglary unfolded.
Such incidents underscore the vulnerability of wealthy Premier League players to burglary, a trend exemplified by the raid on Manchester City's Jack Grealish's Cheshire residence in December.
Grealish, while relieved that no one was harmed, lamented the loss of jewelry and watches during City's clash with Everton.
