As of Monday morning, Spanish authorities haven't made any arrests in the case, according to the same TMZ report.

Aubameyang's current contract with FC Barcelona is worth roughly $13 million annually, according to Spotrac, and his wealth could have played a role in the violent criminals targeting him.

Hopefully, the authorities are able to track down the people responsible, bring them to justice and get Aubameyang and his wife their stuff back.
