Lille striker locked in boot of car by robbers

Lille striker Pierre-Alain Frau, is not having the best of luck!

Having been car-jacked 10 months ago, Frau was attacked again as robbers posing as police briefly locked up the striker in the boot of his Mercedes in the early hours of Monday, before releasing him in another part of town and stealing the vehicle.

Local police said that as Frau was getting into his car, he was approached by hooded men in a car with flashing lights who presented themselves as police. He was on his way home from a late-night dinner after Lille's 2-1 defeat by Lorient on Sunday.

The attackers forced the Ligue 1 player to get into the boot of his car, which they then drove across town. They released Frau on the street in a residential area before making off with his vehicle, credit card, mobile phone and hundreds of euros.

Fortunately, Frau was unhurt in the incident and turned up for training on Monday morning!
