LONDON (Reuters) - Dutch striker Dirk Kuyt has become the latest Liverpool player to be burgled, police said on Tuesday.

Thieves broke into the 27-year-old's home in the Liverpool suburb of Woolton last Thursday while he was on international duty.

Merseyside Police confirmed they were investigating a burglary in Woolton, but would not comment on what had been taken.

Earlier this year, the home of Liverpool's goalkeeper Pepe Reina was burgled as he helped the club reach the Champions League final.

The Spanish international, who saved two spot kicks in the semi-final shootout against Chelsea, had a number of items stolen from his home in Woolton.

The player's Porsche Cayenne was taken and later found burnt out. Also taken was a Bang & Olufsen entertainment system, paperwork and jewellery.

Team mates Jerzy Dudek, Daniel Agger, Peter Crouch and Florent Sinama-Pongolle, as well as Everton's Andy van der Meyde, were all burgled last year.
