'There is nothing valuable left' - Joelinton begs burglars to leave his family alone as Newcastle star confirms house was broken into for second time this year

Joelinton confirmed his family home has been targeted by burglars for the second time in the last year, with several valuable items being stolen just metres away from where his children sleep. The Newcastle midfielder has now taken to Instagram to beg robbers to stop illegally entering his home, admitting there are no luxury items left and that his priority is keeping his family safe.

On an Instagram story, Joelinton said: "Our home was broken into again. To anyone considering doing this: Please know that there is nothing valuable left here! What we care about most is our family's safety and our kids growing up without fear. We hope for a community where our children, and everyone's children feel safe. We ask that our home be respected as a safe space for our family. We simply want to live in peace."

Joelinton may have been hit twice by robbers in 2024, but he is not alone. Other Premier League stars, including Jack Grealish, Kevin De Bruyne and Victor Lindelof have all been targeted recently. With wage packets through the roof and public locations of famous faces becoming more accessible in the modern age, robberies continue to pose a significant threat to local communities.

The 28-year-old will undoubtedly beef up security around his home following the incident. Joelinton will also likely refrain from keeping anything of any value in the proximity and work with police to identify those responsible for the crime.
