A lawsuit has revealed that thieves who posed as friends of Didier Drogba stole 70,000 pounds of ornaments from a jewellery store.

According to the lawsuit filed in Southwark Crown Court, the director of Paris jeweller Mathon was so convinced by the conmen that he got on to the high speed railway service Eurostar to hand over 13 items of jewellery worth 38,500 pounds.
