Barcelona Manager, Frank Rijkaard, saw his home robbed while he was inside with his family on Sunday night. The thieves climbed up outside the front of the building to gain access through a bedroom window. They made off with luxury watches and jewellery and what is described by the regional Catalan police, Los Mossos d’Esquardra, describe as ‘a lot of money in cash’.
Rijkaard lives in the Sarrià district of Barcelona, and only realised that the theft had taken place when he saw the upturned bedroom.
Rijkaard’s son heard the dog barking and saw one of the thieves.
The police commented that they did not know whether the thieves were stupid, but they must realise attacking the home of someone so well known would not benefit them in the long run. They think the house was probably chosen therefore by chance.
