Isak targeted by burglars who stole £68,000 of jewellery, court told
Up to £10,000 in cash and Audi car also takenThree members of same family plead guilty
A “professional group of travelling burglars” broke into the Newcastle striker Alexander Isak’s home and stole his car, jewellery worth about £68,000 and up to £10,000 in cash, a court has heard. The Sweden international was not in the house in Northumberland when the gang broke in through a glass door last April.
The thieves had already stolen jewellery and clothes worth more than £1m from a Tyneside businesswoman and designer goods worth £100,000 from a woman living on Wearside in the previous days, the court heard. Three members of the same family, living in Italy, have admitted conspiracy to commit burglary. A fourth family member, Valentino Nikolov, 32, denies the charge.
