Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper Alexandre Letellier and his family were victims of a terrifying burglary, according to reports in France.
It's understood Letellier, 33, and his wife Chloe were awoken by their security alarm, which had been triggered by intruders in their garden. They are said to have immediately called the police as their home in Yvelines was invaded by four individuals at around 2am on Tuesday.
Despite the alarm, the four who entered the property reportedly held the couple and their two children, aged two and six, hostage while demanding money and jewellery.

A 21-year-old and two 16-year-olds were placed into custody by officers at the Versailles judicial police. It's also been reported a knife was found at the scene of the crime, but it is currently unknown as to whether it belonged to any of the intruders.
As well as the police, the security service PSG provide for their players also reacted to the incident. The French giants have been providing each player with 24/7 security guards ever since the homes of former winger Angel Di Maria and current defender Marquinhos were broken into in 2021.
PSG claim 100% of perpetrators who have targeted the homes of their players have been arrested. It's also believed Letellier's home will benefit from more security agents that will be provided by the club, as has been the case in previous attacks.
Letellier joined the club from third tier French outfit US Orleans in 2020. He has made two appearances for PSG since his arrival.
