A GANG of international thieves stole jewellery worth £68,000 and £10,000 in cash from the home of Premier League star Alexander Isak, a court heard yesterday.
They drove from Italy in a car and a motorhome to target upmarket properties, it was said.
The Newcastle United and Sweden striker was the third victim of the gang in April last year.
They also took a safe and his Audi sports car — which was later found abandoned, Newcastle crown court heard.
Isak, 25, was not at his home in Northumberland at the time of the raid.
Three members of the same family have already admitted conspiracy to commit burglary.
But Valentino Nikolov, 32, denies the charge and is on trial with his ex dad-in-law Safet Ramic, 58, who denies handling the safe.
Prosecutor Daniel Cordey said: “It is the prosecution case that they all travelled to the North East together as part of that conspiracy or agreement to commit high value targeted burglaries of residential properties.
“Once in the North East, the Citroen C3, a black small car, was used then to travel to and from the burglaries”
Trial continues.
