Liverpool’s Senegalese attacker Sadio Mane had his house burgled while
he was playing for the English club in a Champions League last-16
first-leg match against Bayern Munich at Anfield on Tuesday.
Watches, mobile phones and car keys were stolen during the incident,
which it’s believed to have occurred between 6pm and 11:45pm. No-one was in the property at the time.
Forensic examinations are being carried out and an investigation into
the circumstances surrounding the incident is ongoing.
Detective Inspector Phil Mahon said: “We are appealing for anyone with
information in relation to this burglary to please come forward and
assist our inquiries.
“While the occupants were not present at the time of the incident this
will no doubt be a distressing experience for them and I would ask the
offenders to do the right thing and return the stolen items to the owner
in any way possible.
“We know the watches in particular are of significant monetary value and
I would also like to appeal to anyone who might have been offered the
items for sale since the burglary to contact police.”
Mane was also a victim of a burglary in November 2017 while he was in
action for Liverpool in another Champions League game against Maribor at
Anfield.
