The house of Marseille players Andre and Jordan Ayew was robbed while they where away for a Champions League match in Slovakia.
Police launched an investigation and said Friday the robbers damaged the brothers' villa in Marseille after breaking into the house by smashing a glass door.
Police said the criminals stole hi-fi equipment, jewelry and expensive watches and also spilled dishwashing liquid on the floor, damaged household electrical goods and slashed up a sofa with a knife.
Several other Marseille players have recently been targeted by carjackers.
The Ayew brothers were in Zilina during the robbery, which occurred Wednesday night. Marseille routed the Slovakian team 7-0 in the biggest away victory in Champions League history.
Andre and Jordan Ayew are sons of Abedi Pele, a three-time African Player of the Year who won the Champions League with Marseille in 1993. Andre Ayew was a member of the Ghana team that reached the World Cup quarterfinals in South Africa.
