Romario theft: Thieves break into Brazilian legend’s house and are caught with shirts, laptops and alcohol
The former striker wasn't at his residence in Brasilia at the time of the incident
BRAZILIAN football legend Romario has had his house broken into only for the group to be found shortly after with all the items.
One adult and six teenagers were responsible for the incident that took place yesterday in the city of Brasilia, with the 1994 World Cup winner not present at the time.
They were found at a bus stop near the former player's house at around 4:30pm, with items such as football shirts, a laptop, hats, jackets and even a bottle of vodka being taken from the premises.
One person was even found to be wearing a Barcelona shirt they had stolen.
Romario has ventured into politics after he retired from the game in 2009, and is a Senator representing the state of Rio de Janeiro.
The group reportedly claimed they didn't intend to break into the house, and was completely unaware the residence belonged to the legend of the game.
