(VitalNews.org) – Another wealthy celebrity falls victim to rampant crime in the liberal bastion of Los Angeles as local law enforcement fails to protect citizens.
French soccer star Olivier Giroud’s home was burglarized, with thieves making off with a staggering $500,000 worth of jewelry.
This incident highlights the growing concerns about public safety and the inability of liberal policies to address uncontrolled crime in Democrat-run cities.
Giroud’s wife was the one to discover their West LA residence had been broken into when thieves smashed an upstairs bedroom window.
The burglars managed to steal over 10 luxury men’s watches, showcasing the boldness of criminals operating in the area.
Despite the high-profile nature of the victim, no arrests have been made, leaving many to question the effectiveness of local law enforcement.
Giroud, a 38-year-old World Cup winner who joined Los Angeles Football Club in August 2024, is just the latest in a string of professional athletes targeted by similar burglaries.
This trend points to a larger problem of organized crime, specifically targeting high-profile individuals in American cities.
The FBI has linked these burglaries to organized theft groups from South America, known for their ability to bypass security systems.
This revelation raises serious questions about border security and the impact illegal aliens have on American communities.
While the FBI and NFL have advised athletes to enhance their home security measures, many argue that the root cause of the problem lies in soft-on-crime policies that embolden criminals.
The list of athletes affected by these burglaries is alarming and includes NFL stars Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, and Joe Burrow.
NBA player Luka Dončić and NHL players Tyler Seguin and Evgeni Malkin have also fallen victim to these criminals.
This pattern of targeting successful athletes not only threatens their personal safety but also raises concerns about the overall security situation in major U.S. cities.
Described by LAFC as “one of the greatest goal-scorers of his generation,” Giroud has had an illustrious career.
He has scored 285 goals in 716 club matches and holds the record for most goals scored for the French national team.
Like many other high-profile athletes and celebrities, his decision to move to Los Angeles was likely influenced by the city’s allure.
However, incidents like this burglary may cause others to reconsider such moves, potentially impacting the local economy and sports scene.
As Giroud prepares for his second season with LAFC, this incident serves as a stark reminder of the challenges facing not just athletes but all law-abiding citizens in cities plagued by rising crime rates.
