Earlier this month, a burglary occurred at the home of Olivier Giroud, a 38-year-old Los Angeles FC striker. Los Angeles police responded on February 5 to a report of a smashed window and burglary at his West LA residence. The upper bedroom window was broken. LAFC spokesperson Seth Burton confirmed the incident.

Giroud moved to Los Angeles after signing with LAFC in May last year. He is currently preparing with the team for the upcoming Major League Soccer season. LAFC's first match is against Minnesota United this Saturday.

Giroud is known for his six seasons at Arsenal, followed by three years each at Chelsea and Milan. He has scored 285 goals in 716 matches during his club career. His accolades include a Champions League triumph with Chelsea. For the French national team, he scored a record 57 goals and starred in the 2018 World Cup-winning team.
