Kansas City: Two men were charged Saturday over the theft of $18,000-worth of kit and equipment from the England team at the World Cup, a US prosecutor said.
Mustafa Salik and Erfan Kamal each face one count of receiving stolen property, according to a statement from the office of Jackson County Prosecutor Melesa Johnson.
The offense under Missouri law carries a prison sentence of up to seven years.
The equipment was stolen from vehicles as it was transferred from England’s training camp in Florida to their World Cup base in Kansas City.
Johnson’s office said in a statement that the stolen property is estimated to be worth about $18,000.
