McCarthy loses more than hair in barbershop robbery
Print Edition
FORMER South Africa striker Benni McCarthy became a target for more than autograph hunters when he was robbed at gunpoint in a Johannesburg barbershop.
McCarthy, 37, back in his homeland as a pundit for a local television station’s coverage of Europe’s Champions League, which he won with Porto in 2004, had jewelry and other personal items stolen but was not harmed. The ex-Blackburn Rovers forward, his country’s record goalscorer who now lives in Edinburgh, was likely recognized and targeted by the three thieves as no other patrons of the shop were relieved of their belongings on Tuesday. Police are investigating the incident which comes six months after South Africa goalkeeper Senzo Meyiwa was gunned down in a botched robbery at his girlfriend’s house in Soweto.
