West Ham footballer Jesse Lingard was forced to call in police after his watch was stolen from the team's guarded dressing room during a game.
The 28-year-old midfielder had just played against Everton in the Premier League on May 9 (West Ham 0 - 1 Everton) at London Stadium, Stratford, when he noticed the watch was missing.
After a thorough search by the team the incident was reported to the Metropolitan Police, who confirmed they were called to investigate a burglary.
West Ham's dressing room at the London Stadium is said to be heavily guarded during games and covered by CCTV - leaving players puzzled as to how a thief could have got through, the Sun reports.
