The house of Ghana internationals Andre and Jordan Ayew in Marseille was robbed while they traveled with the French champions to Slovakia for a Uefa Champions League match against Zilina which they won 0-7 on Wednesday night.
Police launched an investigation and said on Friday the robbers damaged the brothers’ villa in Marseille after breaking into the house by smashing a glass door.
Police said the criminals stole hi-fi equipment, jewelry and expensive watches and also spilled dishwashing liquid on the floor, damaged household electrical goods and slashed up a sofa with a knife.
Several other Marseille players have recently been targeted by carjackers.
Andre and Jordan Ayew are sons of Abedi Pele, a three-time African Player of the Year who won the Champions League with Marseille in 1993.
Andre Ayew was a member of the Ghana team that reached the World Cup quarterfinals in South Africa.
