Seven replicas of the World Cup trophy were stolen from FIFA's headquarters in South Africa, police and football officials said on Tuesday. "Seven replicas of the World Cup were stolen and several sweaters. Police are looking into it," national police chief Bheki Cele told reporters on Tuesday. The trinkets are worth around $255 each. Normally they are used as gifts. Numerous thefts have been reported so far during the World Cup. Players and journalists were robbed before the world governing body's head office was penetrated too. "(They) were taken from a storage room at FIFA headquarters in Sandton. There is no sign of a break-in at all and investigations are ongoing," a FIFA spokesman said. Security in South Africa was a big concern ahead of the World Cup as a result of the high rates of violent crime.
