MARC Cucurella has become the latest Chelsea star to be burgled in a terrifying home raid.
The left-back, 24, was robbed shortly after moving to the Blues from Brighton in the summer.

The horror has been blamed for Cucurella’s performance so far for Chelsea after the £62million move.
Blues boss Graham Potter has been backing his under-pressure star lately while admitting the player has been going through a “tough time”.
Potter has vowed to support the Spanish defender on and off the pitch.
Cucurella was dropped for Wednesday night’s Champions League defeat at Borussia Dortmund and was booed by Chelsea fans when he came off the bench in the 71st minute.
He has also endured a frustrating time forging a relationship with new playing partner Mykhailo Mudryk.
It is thought the unsettling effects of the burglary have had a big impact on Cucurella’s struggle to settle in at Stamford Bridge.
He had already found it stressful trying to settle into life in London, struggling to find a home for him and his family.
Cucurella is the third Chelsea footballer to be targeted after Reece James and Raheem Sterling also had their homes raided.
Sterling was forced to race back from the World Cup in Qatar after burglars smashed into his home in December.
The star later re-joined the squad and two men were arrested on suspicion of attempted burglary.
Prior to that Chelsea right back Reece James revealed he had been targeted by thieves who stole his football medals and his safe.
James was not home at the time but referred to the culprits as “low life individuals”.
