Football players' homes robbed
And Aubameyang is not the only player to have been robbed recently.
The same thing happened earlier this season to Samo Castelego, whose home was burgled while he and his family were at Mestalla on his first Valencia debut.
Thieves used to enter soccer players' homes when they were out or playing matches.
For this reason, the Valencia team has advised its players to enhance their security and take more precautions when they participate in matches.
