LOS ANGELES (AP) — Los Angeles FC striker Olivier Giroud's home was the target of a burglary earlier this month, police said.
The 38-year-old French soccer star moved to Los Angeles last year after signing with LAFC in May.
Los Angeles police said they responded Feb. 5 to a report of a window smash at a home in west LA. The caller reported an upstairs bedroom window broken and their home burglarized.
LAFC spokesperson Seth Burton declined to comment on behalf of Giroud and the organization beyond confirming the burglary report.
Giroud is best known for his six prolific seasons at Arsenal from 2012-18, followed by three years apiece at Chelsea and Milan. He has scored 285 goals in 716 matches during his club career while winning a wealth of trophies, including a Champions League triumph with Chelsea three years ago.
He was also a star for the French national team, scoring a record 57 goals and playing for Les Bleus’ World Cup winners in 2018.
Giroud is preparing with the LAFC for the upcoming Major League Soccer season, with his team kicking off against Minnesota United this Saturday at home.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Norway’s Kristoffer Reitan shot 2-under 69 on Sunday to earn a two-shot win over Rickie Fowler and Nicolai Hojgaard at the Truist Championship for his first victory on the PGA Tour.
Reitan, who chose golf over soccer at a young age, won twice previously on the European Tour. He finished at 15-under 269.
“This feeling is just unreal,” Reitan said.
Alex Fitzpatrick, the third-round leader, finished three shots back after shooting 73.
Reitan, a PGA Tour rookie who started the round one shot behind Fitzpatrick, was even par for the day after 13 holes and one shot behind Fowler, who surged to the lead after shooting 30 on the front nine.
But Fowler, who started the day seven shots behind, couldn’t sustain the momentum.
Playing four groups ahead of the leaders, Fowler missed a 6-foot birdie putt on 16, opening the door for Reitan, Fitzpatrick, and Hojgaard to pull into a four-way tie for the lead after all three made birdie.
Fowler had a chance down the stretch, but his approach shot on the 18th hole landed in the thick rough on the left side of the green and his chip came out short leading to bogey, all but ending his chances.
He finished with a round of 65.
Reitan took the lead for good with a two-putt birdie on 15 after Fitzpatrick’s wedge got caught up in the thick rough and his chip barely made the fringe, leading to a costly par on the par 5.
Hojgaard made bogey on 16 to fall two shots back.
Fitzpatrick faltered on 17 as his chip from the rough never made the green resulting in a double bogey, taking him out of contention.
Reitan played the final three holes of the Green Mile in even par and secured the win with a par on 18.
Reitan’s best previous finish was a tie for second last month at the Zurich Classic when he and playing partner Kris Ventura lost by one stroke to Fitzpatrick and his brother, Matt.
It was a hugely disappointing day for Cameron Young, the world's No. 3 player.
Looking for his second straight PGA win after a victory last week at Doral, Young started the day just two shots off the lead but had a double bogey on the second hole and never recovered with just one birdie the rest of the day.
He finished with a 74 and tied for 10th, six shots behind.
Fitzpatrick, who earned his tour card last month after combining with his brother to win the Zurich Classic, began the day with a two-shot lead.
But he bogeyed the second and double-bogeyed the third after an errant tee shot forced him to chip out, leading to a three-putt. He shot 38 on the front nine.
He battled back with three birdies on the first four holes on the back nine, but couldn't regain sole possession of the lead.
