Masked thieves broke into Burton Albion's Pirelli Stadium and stole valuables belonging to players and equipment before defacing replica shirts.
The three intruders, wearing hoodies, masks and balaclavas, broke into the tunnel area at the League One club's stadium between 9.30pm and 9.50pm on Sunday evening.
CCTV footage showed the trio rummaging through crates of kit before they decided to write their initials on a Burton home shirt left out for players to sign.
They were later picked up by cameras strolling across the pitch before climbing over a metal fence and leaving the stadium.
Burton said 'valuable items of first team players' belongings and equipment were stolen from the tunnel area of the stadium following the squad's return from Stevenage. Signed merchandise was also defaced.'
