Ligue 1: “We are tired”, Brest and Chardonnay speak about the many thefts by football players.

This is the trend of recent months, to rob football players, big clubs or not. Indeed, Brest has registered 7 thefts since this summer. For this reason, the Breton club wanted to raise awareness and express their anger in a press release.

“So it’s a scourge that can affect us all»

“Stade Brestois would like to extend its full support to its sporting workforce, which has been the victim of 7 thefts this summer. Similar to what has happened at higher-profile clubs, Stade Brestois players today seem to be the preferred targets of criminals in and around Brest. The numbers are telling in France, with a robbery every 90 seconds (according to the National Observatory of Crime and Criminal Responses). So it’s a scourge that can affect us all. But beyond the financial and material impact, being a victim of theft is no small feat. For some, it is a real trauma that leaves psychological scars. A sense of insecurity that Stade Brestois regrets for his family and theirs, far from the image of peaceful life common in the tip of Brittany.»

Brendan Chardonnet, the captain of Brest, who was the victim of a robbery at Le Conquet a few months ago, expressed his outrage. We are tired! From Wednesday to Thursday night, the 7th theft happened again since the beginning of the summer. More than a third of players have suffered damage in recent months. We are working with the gendarmerie on a thorough investigation. We also sensitize our neighborhood with whom there is mutual assistance. We know there is no miracle solution, but if this continues, the majority of the group will suffer by the end of the season.»
