The home of Liverpool midfielder Fabinho was burgled on the same day he celebrated the club's Premier League title win.
It is believed thieves broke into the Brazilian's home between 3pm on Wednesday July 22nd and 4am on Thursday July 23rd.
Merseyside Police have said items of jewellery and an Audi RS6 were stolen during the raid in Formby with the car later recovered in Wigan.
The burglary was discovered when Fabinho returned to the property - just hours after featuring in Liverpool's 5-3 win over Chelsea at Anfield.
Liverpool were presented with the Premier League trophy after the game to mark their first league title success in 30 years.

A Merseyside police statement read: "Detectives in Sefton are appealing for information following a burglary in Formby.
"Police were called to an address in the early hours of this morning (Thursday, 23 July), when the occupants entered their house to find it had been burgled."
Fabinho joined Jurgen Klopp's side in the summer of 2018 from Monaco for an initial fee of €44m and he's proved to be an important addition to the squad.
The 26-year-old took a few months to find his feet but he became a regular during the second half of last season and started in the Champions League final win over Tottenham.
Fabinho missed some of this season due to injury but he has two league goals to his name heading into the final game of the Premier League season away to Newcastle.
