After defending his World Boxing Association (WBA) Welterweight title against American boxer Adrien Broner via unanimous decision at the MGM in Las Vegas last Sunday, January 20, 40-year-old Senator Manny Pacquiao finds out his North Plymouth, Los Angeles home has been robbed.

According to NBC San Diego, “ A citizen contacted authorities to report the burglary on the 500 block of N. Plymouth Boulevard in the Larchmont area at approximately 4:15 p.m., according to the Los Angeles Police Department,” which is hours after the iconic Filipino boxer’s win.

Early reports indicate that police found the front door of the gated house open. Since the burglary, Pacquiao’s block at Hancock Park neighborhood has been roped off as investigators look through his home to conclude what has been stolen, but Pacquiao’s younger brother Bobby shares that he is still unsure if robbers were able to open the home’s vaults.

The Los Angeles Police Department initially shared that “nothing substantial has been stolen,” but later, officers discovered that a room on the second floor containing jewelry and designer pieces was ransacked, not specifying which items have been taken. There have been no injuries reported so far, as the househelper and security personnel were with Pacquiao for the Vegas fight. The entire Pacquiao party heard the news as they were driving back to California for a victory party.

This is the same home Pacquiao and his coach Freddie Roach often trained before the fight. He purchased the house in 2011 for $2.17 million, but before this incident, it was already robbed in 2012, four suspects immediately arrested after the mansion was found open.

Burglars for this incident, unfortunately, took advantage of the fact that Pacquiao’s home was isolated due to his highly-anticipated Vegas match, where he defeated 29-year-old Broner 117-111, 116-112, and 116-112 in favor of the 40-year-old.
