Joelinton Makes Heartfelt Plea After Second Burglary at Newcastle Home

NEWCASTLE UPON TYNE — Newcastle United midfielder Joelinton has made an emotional public appeal to burglars, pleading for them to stop targeting his home after his residence was broken into for the second time in 2024.

The Brazilian international took to social media to express his frustration and concern for the safety of his family. The latest break-in occurred while the property was empty, but it has left the footballer and his loved ones feeling deeply unsettled. In his post, Joelinton stated, "Our home was broken into again. To anyone considering doing this: please know that there is nothing valuable left here. What we care about most is our family's safety and our children growing up without fear."

The player's home was previously targeted in January 2024 during a match against Manchester City, where Joelinton actually received a security alert on his phone during the game, prompting police to dispatch a helicopter. This second incident has intensified calls for improved security measures and policing around the residential areas popular with Premier League footballers in Tyne and Wear. Northumbria Police confirmed they are investigating the break-in and have increased patrols in the area.
