During the night from Friday to last Saturday, Olympique Lyonnais suffered a burglary at its official store located at the foot of Groupama Stadium. Five individuals managed to steal several thousand euros worth of jerseys and clothing. But the culprits and their loot were quickly found by the police.
Olympique Lyonnais is having a complicated start to the season on all grounds. Hanging at home by Le Havre (0-0) on Sunday evening, the Rhone club certainly left the red lantern place in Ligue 1, without managing to reassure itself or give itself some air at the bottom of the ranking. And the context is not much more pleasant behind the scenes, where the attacks of former president Jean-Michel Aulas, in court or in the media, have disrupted the new leadership.

Suffice to say that Olympique Lyonnais did not need the incident at its official store. The events actually took place during the night from Friday to Saturday last, reports the regional daily Le Progrès. Around 5 a.m., the 800 square meter OL Store, located at the foot of Groupama Stadium in Décines-Charpieu, was burglarized. Five men managed to break in using a crowbar. The alarm was obviously triggered, which did not prevent the thieves from filling their car with Olympique Lyonnais jerseys and clothing.
OL quickly moved on to something else
The exact amount of the loot is not known but it would amount to several thousand euros. Fortunately for John Textor’s club, the police, who quickly launched their pursuit, did not take long to find the five individuals in Villeurbanne, with all the jerseys and clothing stolen from the same car, informs Olympique Lyonnais, who did not wish to dwell on this incident. It is true that the club now coached by Fabio Grosso has other priorities at the moment.
