Barcelona striker and his wife assaulted in armed robbery in their home

Barcelona striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and his wife were reportedly assaulted early Monday morning when four hooded and armed men broke into his home, forcing him to open a safe to steal jewelry and other valuables.

Aubameyang and his wife, Alysha Behague, suffered minor injuries in the incident, according to Spain’s El Pais newspaper. The two were handcuffed and tied up during the robbery, which occurred at roughly 1 a.m. They were threatened with firearms and iron bars, El Pais said, and the men fled the scene in a white Audi A3.

Aubameyang’s home in suburban Castelldefels has been targeted by burglars twice in the past two months.
