A GANG broke into the home of Brazil star Neymar’s girlfriend and tied up and gagged her parents before making off with luxury goods.
Model Bruna Biancardi, who recently welcomed a baby girl with PSG ace Neymar, released a statement online after the horror attack.
Her parents house was stormed in the early hours of Tuesday by a ram-raiding group of thieves.
A 20-year-old man, believed to be one of the group who attacked them, lived in the same block as the victims and has been arrested.
The robbers ambushed Biancardi’s family home, which is in a gated community, around 3am.
Neither Neymar nor Biancardi were there at the time.
Her parents, aged 50 and 52, were tied up as the gang gagged them and targeted their safe.
After finding it empty they turned their efforts to bags, watches and jewellery in a spree lasting 25 minutes.
They reportedly later fled in a getaway car.
Biancardi said: “Passing by to reassure friends, family and those of you who accompany me here.
“This morning they robbed my house and took my parents hostage. Me, Mavie and my sister are no longer living there, and we weren’t at the moment.
“Thank God everything is fine with them. Material things we can win back.
“The important thing is that everyone is safe and that those involved are being found. Thank you, my God, for taking care of us.
“Always protect my family from all evil. Amen.”
