In a harrowing incident, Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper Alexandre Letellier and his family became victims of a terrifying burglary in the early hours of Tuesday morning. The 33-year-old goalkeeper, his wife, and their two children were subjected to a night of terror when intruders invaded their home.
According to reports from French outlet RMC, the assailants kidnapped the family and held them at knifepoint, demanding money and jewelry. The situation escalated when Letellier’s wife was struck in the face by the attackers. The ordeal unfolded after the family was awoken around 2 am by a triggered security alarm.
Despite their immediate call to the police, the intruders had already infiltrated the property, making their way into the garden. Swift police intervention led to the arrest of three of the four attackers, including two minors and an adult.
During the incident, one police officer sustained a knee injury while responding to the scene. The three suspects, identified as a 21-year-old and two 16-year-olds, have been taken into custody.
