The home of Manchester City star Riyad Mahrez has been burgled with three luxury watches worth in excess of £300,000 among the items stolen.

The robbery, which took place on April 24, saw thieves use a key fob to access his apartment and three others in the Manchester city centre block.

The Sun reports that in addition to the watches, more than £50,000 in cash was taken along with Cartier bracelets and rare football shirts worth up to £150,000 were taken.

Mahrez, 29, was said to not have been at home when the offenders used on the afternoon of April 24.

“Four apartments were accessed without authority using a fob which had general access throughout the building,” read a letter sent to residents.

“The fob in question is now in our possession, has been fully deactivated and cannot be used again.”

Police are investigating.

Earlier this month, England and Tottenham star Dele Alli spoke of the “horrible experience” of being punched by armed raiders who stole watches and jewellery from his London home .

The Spurs midfielder was ordered to hand over valuables to the raiders during the early hours attack as he played pool with his brother and his model girlfriend Ruby Mae.

The two knife-wielding masked intruders then fled from his home in leafy Hadley Wood.

In March, the family of Alli’s team-mate Jan Vertonghen were robbed at knifepoint while he was away on Champions League duty.

Vertonghen was part of the squad that travelled to Germany for the last-16 second leg with RB Leipzig when four thieves wearing balaclavas raided his home.

They were armed with knives, but Vertonghen’s wife and two children were unharmed.
