Alexander Isak, a star for NEWCASTLE United, is the most recent celebrity to fall victim to professional thieves.
Just 48 hours before the £100 million striker featured in the Toon’s 1-0 victory against Fulham yesterday, a gang attacked his opulent mansion.
A mile distant, his teammate Joelinton’s house was broken into three months prior.
Detectives are going to look into whether the same squad is behind the break-in, even though no one has been taken into custody.
Three English players, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Raheem Sterling, and Jack Grealish, have also fallen victim to so-called “away day gangs,” who prey on players they believe will be at games.
At ten o’clock on Thursday night, police were notified of the raid on Swede Isak’s residence on the Darras Hall estate in Northumberland.
The gang are thought to have gained entry to the four-bedroom property through rear patio doors earlier in the evening.
It is not known whether Isak, 24, or any family were at home at the time or what, if anything, was taken.
Cops confirmed a car was stolen and later found abandoned three miles away in Dissington.
A neighbour told The Sun on Sunday: “Police are still piecing it together, but he was broken into.
