Two Olympic medals were stolen from the house of Russian tennis player Yelena Vesnina, TASS reported on Sunday.
"My husband and I were out for dinner, [and when] we came home, we [found out that] both Olympic medals - the gold and the silver one - were stolen, as well as some jewellery. The safe was cracked," Vesnina told TASS.
Burglars pried the door open and gained access to the house, the athlete revealed, pointing out that she and her husband forgot to turn the alarm on when leaving, so it did not work.
The two medals were gold from Rio de Janeiro and silver from Tokyo. However, the exact value of stolen goods is yet to be calculated.
On their part, the Moscow Region police department’s press service said: "Active search measures and investigative procedures are currently underway."
