RCD Espanyol’s Senegalese international, Keïta Baldé, has become the unfortunate target of a burglary, as reported by the Mossos d’Esquadra, the Catalan police force. The incident unfolded on Monday, December 11, at Baldé’s residence in Arenys de Mar, a town in the province of Barcelona.
Amidst a challenging period for the footballer, who has seen limited playing time with Espanyol Barcelona, the break-in adds to the complexities of Keïta Baldé’s current circumstances.
The 28-year-old’s residence was infiltrated by three assailants who, upon gaining access, confined the player’s mother to a room within the apartment.
During the burglary, the perpetrators targeted high-value items, including luxury watches, and managed to open a secured safe within the premises.
In response to the unsettling ordeal, Keïta Baldé promptly filed a formal complaint, prompting an investigation by the Mossos d’Esquadra.
The authorities are diligently working to locate the suspects and have not ruled out the possibility that the perpetrators may be affiliated with a group originating from Eastern European countries.
The police are exploring all leads to apprehend those responsible for the intrusion into the footballer’s residence.
Keïta Baldé, an African champion and an integral part of Senegal’s national team, is undoubtedly facing a challenging time, both professionally and personally, as the investigation unfolds.
The incident raises concerns about the safety and security of professional athletes and underscores the need for heightened vigilance and preventative measures to safeguard their well-being.
