Burglars Target Kevin De Bruyne’s Residence; Leaving Mansion Ransacked

Kevin De Bruyne, the Manchester City star, is currently facing a distressing situation as his 70-acre residence in Belgium was burglarized by unknown individuals while he was away on a club assignment in Saudi Arabia.

As reported by Belgian news outlet HLN, the burglars employed a stepladder to gain access to the first floor of the property between 4 pm and 9 pm on Saturday.

It’s worth noting that De Bruyne, along with his wife and three children, was not present in his Belgian home during the break-in on Saturday.

An official from the local prosecutor’s office said: “Everything was turned upside down, so it is not yet entirely clear what the exact disadvantage is. But at first glance it appears that mainly jewellery has been stolen.”

The official added: “The investigation into what exactly happened is still ongoing. The forensic laboratory has already arrived on site for a trace investigation and a camera and neighbourhood investigation will follow. It is therefore not yet clear who the perpetrators are.”

The Man City footballer missed Saturday’s match, which ended in a draw with Crystal Palace, at the Etihad Stadium because of an injury. He travelled with the team to Saudi Arabia that night.
